Tottenham remain interested in £60m Maghnes Akliouche but an upcoming opponent will push them hard
Tottenham Hotspur may come to regret pushing through a deal for Maghnes Akliouche during the January transfer window following the latest update about the Monaco star’s future.
As Spurs fans would be well aware, Tottenham explored a move for Akliouche until the final days of the January window, but were not able to get it over the line.
That looks like a big error in hindsight, given the key attackers that Spurs have subsequently lost to injuries, and the precarious position they currently find themselves in.
Reports indicate that the Monaco star remains near the top of Spurs’ wishlist in the lead-up to the summer transfer window, with the Lilywhites expected to reignite their pursuit.
Aston Villa are ready to step up their interest in Tottenham target Maghnes Akliouche
TEAMtalk have now confirmed that Spurs are among the Monaco star’s admirers, but they reveal that a new challenger is now set to make a splash.
Aston Villa are the latest club to enter the race for Akliouche as they plan for a ‘pivotal summer window’. They are now ‘closely monitoring’ the 23-year-old and are ‘ready to step up their interest’ if they secure passage into next season’s Champions League.
Villa are preparing to make a significant investment into their squad with attacking reinforcements high on their agenda, with the France international emerging as a ‘serious target’.
Other Premier League clubs are also circling over Akliouche
At the start of April, TEAMtalk suggested that Man United and Liverpool could also Spurs in the race for the Monaco star.
Fabrizio Romano subsequently revealed that several Premier League clubs have already called about Akliouche’s availability ahead of the summer window.
The expectation is that Monaco will demand £60m for the Tottenham target, who could have a key role to play for Les Blues at the World Cup.
