Tottenham Hotspur are plotting a move for a Manchester City starlet this summer, but they could face a battle with Nottingham Forest, who are also ready to make a move for the youngster.
The Man City academy has produced some exceptional talents over recent years, who have gone on to become stars at the highest level.
The Manchester club now have another gem on their hands in James McAtee, who has been extremely impressive whenever he has been handed an opportunity by Pep Guardiola’s side this campaign.
Tottenham reportedly made a late enquiry for McAtee in January, and they could try again to sign the attacking midfielder this summer, whose future is now up in the air.
In fact, the latest reports go as far as to say that Man City have given the green light to a McAtee sale, which could come as a huge boost to Spurs.
Tottenham could battle Nottingham Forest for James McAtee
This report comes from TBR Football, who say that Tottenham Hotspur are fans of the City youngster and confirm that they did make an approach for him in the previous transfer window.
However, the outlet says that the Lilywhites could face competition for McAtee this summer as Forest are now ready to make a move for the 21-year-old.

The outlet claims that the midfielder is ready to leave the Etihad Stadium in search of regular first-team football, having seen how Cole Palmer has thrived since his switch to Chelsea.
Forest are expected to lose Morgan Gibbs-White this summer, and Nuno Espirito Santo’s men see McAtee as the ideal replacement for the England international.
McAtte is also attracting interest from Germany
TBR Football claim that an opportunity to move to the Bundesliga might also present itself for the City midfielder this summer.
This is because Bayer Leverkusen are big fans of McAtee and want to bring him in to replace Florian Wirtz, who is set to depart this summer.
Additionally, RB Leipzig are also closely monitoring the English midfielder’s situation as they consider a potential approach.
