Having already bolstered the midfield in January by bringing in Rodrigo Bentancur from Juventus on a permanent deal, Tottenham aren’t done there.
Short of depth in pretty much all areas of the pitch, Antonio Conte’s squad needs more additions to it this summer if they want to compete for trophies and further up the table, and if they can acquire someone who already has Premier League experience along the way, why not?
That’s the idea we seem to be getting from the latest to come out of France, as Jeunes Footeux are reporting Paris Saint-Germain’s Idrissa Gueye is a target for Tottenham.
With just 18 starts in Ligue 1 this season, the former Everton man is no longer a guaranteed regular in the French capital, which could lead him to look elsewhere.
At 32 years of age, he’s still got a few seasons left in the tank, and with a contract expiring in 2023, this summer could be the ideal time for PSG to get some of those £27m back.
The website explain the player’s situation has put Tottenham ‘on alert’, with the London side ‘attentive’ to what is going on in Paris with the Senegal international.
As for the fee Fabio Paratici would have to put forward to secure Gueye’s services at Spurs, it’s explained the Ligue 1 side would let him go ‘in case of an offer nearing €20m’.
Affordable, but it remains to be seen if this is something Daniel Levy and co. would sanction for someone over 30.
