Tottenham Hotspur sent scouts to keep an eye on Basel winger Mohamed Salah in the Swiss club’s Europa League semi-final first leg at St. Jakob-Park last night, according to Portuguese daily A Bola.
Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas is believed to have been impressed with the Egypt international’s contributions for the Swiss league leaders this season, including his displays in the Europa League, a competition in which Basel played and knocked out Tottenham.
The 20-year-old has notched up nine goals from his 41 club appearances so far this season.
A winger, who can also play as a striker, Salah scored the first goal for his team in the second leg of the Europa League quarter-final tie against Villas-Boas’ men earlier this month.

However, the Most Promising African Talent of the Year winner last year, failed to register his name on the scoresheet last night, and was substituted in the 78th minute.
Salah has a contract with Basel until 2016. He joined the club in June last year.
