Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Monaco attacker Maghnes Akliouche.
According to TeamTalk, Tottenham representatives scouted the player in action on Saturday and are looking to ramp up their pursuit.
Spurs need someone like Maghnes Akliouche
Tottenham need to add more quality and depth in the final third. They have scored four times in the last four league outings. Signing a quality winger could make a big difference for them. The 23-year-old man will help create opportunities for his teammates and add unpredictability to Tottenham’s attacking unit.
Akliouche has done quite well for Monaco over the last year, with three goals and five assists to his name this season.
He is highly talented and has a bright future ahead of himself. If Tottenham can groom him properly, they could have a future star on their hands.
They also wanted to sign the player at the start of the season, and they held talks with his agents and the club officials. However, they were not able to get the deal done.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can succeed this time.
Akliouche asking price revealed
They are looking to make a defining acquisition this month, and Akliouche certainly represents an exciting prospect. The player is likely to cost around £50 million, and they will have to pay up to get the deal done.
The North London outfit have spent a substantial amount of money in recent windows, and it remains to be seen whether the club hierarchy is willing to sanction another big-money signing.
While the asking price might seem expensive right now, Akliouche has the potential to justify the investment in the future. The opportunity to move to England could be exciting for him as well. Regular football at the highest level could accelerate his development.
