Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing the Monaco attacker Maghnes Akliouche this summer.
According to The Independent, they are plotting a move for the 23-year-old, and they will have to pay a fee of around €55 million in order to get the deal done. They were hoping to sign Savinho from Manchester City, but he is likely to cost a lot more.
Maghnes Akliouche would improve Spurs
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham come forward with an offer to sign the attacker. He is highly rated across Europe, and he has been described as a “very good player” by his teammates in the past. Furthermore, he has been likened to Kylian Mbappé because of stylistic similarities.
Tottenham could use a quality wide player, and the 23-year-old would be a superb acquisition. He is excellent when it comes to taking on defenders in one-versus-one situations and beating them. He will add pace, flair and unpredictability to the Tottenham attack. The opportunity to move to Spurs at this stage of his career will be quite exciting for him. Regular football in England could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his potential.
Will Tottenham pay up?
The reported asking price is quite expensive, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham are willing to pay up. They will probably hope to negotiate a more reasonable deal for a player who is still largely unproven at the highest level. His talent is beyond doubt, but he has yet to prove himself consistently at a high level.
Monaco might need to be more reasonable with their demands for the move to go through. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few weeks.
