On June 19th, we covered claims from Italy which stated Juventus will face competition from Tottenham Hotspur to sign AS Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana in the summer window.
The midfielder has a year left on his deal and his future seems to be away from the Ligue 1 side.
Fofana made 37 appearances last season and his performances have caught the attention of several European clubs, including Tottenham and the Serie A side.
That’s according to Tutto Juve, who state Spurs are the ‘favourite’ to sign the 25-year-old this summer.
It’s claimed Ange Postecoglou’s side ‘want to get ahead of everyone’ in the race to secure his services. The report further adds Tottenham ‘could spend €30m’ to bring the player to London.
Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Giovani Lo Celso have deals expiring in 2025, and are expected to leave Spurs after being restricted to limited playing time last season.
Fofana can be used as a defensive midfielder and in the middle of the pitch. His versatility can provide Postecoglou more options if his side were to sign him this summer.
