The 23-year-old Burkina Faso international is expected to cost Tottenham around £12 million this summer, which is around his market value.
His impressive performances on loan at Luton Town last season have attracted interest from multiple clubs, including Spurs, who view him as a strong option to enhance their defensive lineup.
Kabore initially joined Manchester City in July 2020 and spent the following season on loan at Mechelen.
He further honed his skills with loan spells at Troyes and Marseille in subsequent seasons.
Last summer, Kabore joined newly promoted Premier League side Luton Town on a season-long loan.
He made 24 Premier League appearances for Luton, demonstrating his capabilities and solidifying his reputation as a dependable right wing-back.
Tottenham’s interest in Kabore underscores their commitment to strengthening their squad and ensuring they have quality options in every position.
Kabore’s versatility and proven track record make him an appealing prospect for the Lilywhites as they aim to compete at the highest level in the upcoming season.
The potential signing of Kabore would allow Tottenham to reinforce their defence and add depth to their squad, preparing them for a challenging and competitive campaign ahead.
