Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Lyon attacker Georges Mikautadze during the summer transfer window.
The French outfit has been relegated to the second division because of their financial problems, and the Georgian striker could look to leave this summer. He had an outstanding season last year with 17 goals and 11 assists in all competitions. The 24-year-old is highly rated across Europe, and he has been likened to Kylian Mbappé in the past. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can get the deal done for a reasonable amount of money.

According to a report from Fichajes, Tottenham believe that he is a player with immense potential, and they are not keen on losing a promising player like him, especially with his club in disarray.
Furthermore, the report claims that talks between the parties are progressing and the first formal moves have already been made in London. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
Tottenham have been scouting the player for over a year.
The player is likely to be tempted
It is fair to assume that the striker will be attracted to the idea of playing for Tottenham. They are among the biggest clubs in England, and they will be able to offer him Champions League football next season. Moving to the Premier League will be quite exciting for the player. He will not want to compete in the second division of French football next year. The 24-year-old is good enough to play for Tottenham, and he will look to make his mark in English football.
Meanwhile, Tottenham need more attacking depth on the side. Dominic Solanke did not manage to score consistently last season, and he needs more support in the attack. Signing the Georgian could prove to be a wise decision.
