How much Maghnes Akliouche could cost Tottenham as Savinho alternative is identified
Tottenham are on the hunt for further attacking additions this summer and have identified Maghnes Akliouche as a potential target.
Spurs have already brought in Mohammed Kudus from West Ham, but Thomas Frank is keen to reinforce his winger further.
Savinho had been linked with Tottenham throughout the window, but this deal now looks unlikely to happen due to the potential cost.
Therefore, Spurs have identified Akliouche as a potential alternative. However, this could still cost the London club a pretty penny.
Akliouche set to cost Spurs at least £59m
If Tottenham want to sign Akliouche, Monaco are set to demand a hefty fee for the 23-year-old.

According to the Independent on 19 August, the Ligue 1 side wants £47.5million if they are to part with the Frenchman.
On top of this, the attacker could demand a wage increase if he is to leave Monaco.
Capalogy on 19 August estimates that Akliouche is currently earning £19,067-a-week, with three years left on his deal.
Considering how much Spurs currently pay their attackers, the 23-year-old will surely get a wage boost.
Therefore, if Tottenham were to offer Akliouche a four-year deal on £60,000-a-week, this package would cost the London club £12.06m. This is without including potential clauses and bonuses in his contract.
As a result, this wage package, on top of the fee demanded, would cost Spurs £59.56m.
How much do Tottenham’s attackers earn?
According to Capology, Tottenham’s first-team attackers currently earn massive amounts each week.
Not including the new signings, Spurs’ injury-hit James Maddison earns the most a week on £170,000, with Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison following on £110,000 and £90,000.
Even Bryan Gil, who hasn’t played for Tottenham since the 2023/24 campaigns earns £60,000-a-week.
Therefore, it is likely that Akliouche will earn a substantial wage if he is to move to Spurs.
Hopefully, unlike Gil, he will quickly find a starting spot in the team and make an impact.
