Tottenham Hotspur supporters are eager for the club to start making moves in the summer transfer window.
Mathys Tel is Tottenham’s only signing during the window so far, as the Lilywhites prepare to return to playing Champions League football next term.
Thomas Frank will also be wanting the North London club to kick into life soon, with pre-season just around the corner.
Now, Tottenham Hotspur fans have been calling for Frank to push the club to return for a Manchester City player whom they asked about signing back in January.
Tottenham fans keen on James McAtee after England U-21 triumph
Tottenham fans have been calling for the club to reconsider moving for James McAtee again following his performance in England U-21’s European Championship win.
The young Three Lions won the title in back-to-back tournaments, and the Manchester City academy graduate was the man who lifted the trophy.
The youngster set up Omari Hutchinson’s goal, which put England 2-0 up after just 24 minutes. Meanwhile, Spurs’ Archie Gray remained an unused substitute.
The young talent played a key role in helping Lee Carsley’s side go all the way in Slovakia, and he is one of the players many Premier League clubs should be targeting.
TBR Football revealed that Tottenham enquired about McAtee during the January transfer window as they looked to sign another attacker.
Reports have suggested that Tottenham remain interested in McAtee, and Pep Guardiola’s team are open to selling the 22-year-old this summer.
One fan said: “If McAtee is really available for £25 million, surely that’s a no-brainer?! Young, cheap and English. He’d be a great addition.”
Another supporter added: “If we are not going to sign Eze, Mbeumo or Semenyo. We must go all out to get McAtee and Elliott.”
There were yet more calls for McAtee to be signed: “James McAtee and Harvey Elliott are massive market opportunities this summer, and whoever gets their hands on them as a potential superstar at a cut-price deal. I really hope one of them comes to Spurs.”
Finally, another claimed: “James McAtee for £25m is better value than Archie Gray. I like Archie and believe in him, but it’s a lot of player for such a low fee being English as well, a lot of the ex-Man City academy players now go on to be worth good money, but also very effective.”
James McAtee could add great squad depth at Tottenham
Back in January, Man City rejected £30m for McAtee to avoid a repeat of the Cole Palmer situation, which they will still be kicking themselves over.
But after he made just 11 appearances following those rejected offers and City signed several high-profile players, Guardiola could be open to letting him leave.
He could be the perfect market opportunity for Spurs and offer them great depth in their attacking areas, whilst also counting as home-grown.
McAtee can play in several attacking roles, including as a number ten and as a right-sided forward, which is where Spurs are keen to add players.
