Tottenham appear to have missed out on the signing of Thomas Meunier, with Nicolo Schria reporting that the PSG right-back has agreed a four-year deal with Borussia Dortmund.
Meunier’s contract in Paris expires in June and Spurs had been heavily linked to him as a solution to our right-back issues, with The Express reporting as recently as today that we were in talks to sign the Belgian international on a free transfer.
However, Italian journalist Schria has proven himself to be a much more reliable source and tweeted this afternoon about the agreement in place for Meunier to move to The Westfalenstadion.
So Serge Aurier lives to fight another day.
A silver lining to take from this news is that there is one less club in the running for Achraf Hakimi if Meunier is being signed to replace the 21-year-old Moroccan, as Schria indicates.
Hakimi will initially head back to Real Madrid but may be made available on loan again, and Mundo Deportivo reported our interest in April. I would much rather have him than Meunier, even if it’s only a loan.
