Tottenham Hotspur are one of the sides showing an interest in signing Monaco attacking midfielder Maghnes Akliouche, according to a report from CaughtOffside.
After such a disappointing season in the Premier League, it could be a busy summer transfer window for Spurs as they look to bring in reinforcements. A host of new signings will be necessary to steer them back in the right direction, despite them lifting a trophy.
Ange Postecoglou's side rescued something from a disastrous campaign by beating Manchester United in the Europa League final. Although an incredible achievement, their Premier League displays can't go unnoticed.
Tottenham Eyeing Maghnes Akliouche
Could cost £59m
According to a report from CaughtOffside, Tottenham are one of the sides who are showing an interest in signing Monaco attacking midfielder Akliouche. The Ligue 1 outfit could demand in the region of £59m to allow him to head through the exit door this summer, while the Premier League could be a likely destination for the 23-year-old.
Akliouche, who has a 'left foot made of gold' according to talent scout Jacek Kulig, has been described as an 'insane' talent, bursting onto the scene in Monaco's first team at the age of 19. The young playmaker has become a key player for the Ligue 1 outfit this season, so it's no surprise that they are set to demand a hefty fee to allow him to depart.
Akliouche's versatility could make him a useful option for Postecoglou. The French international plays as an attacking midfielder or winger, and he's a major creative threat in the final third. The 23-year-old produced 10 assists in La Liga this season, scoring five goals along the way.
The Monaco star also made an impact in the Champions League, featuring in 10 games for the French side, providing four goals and assists combined in the campaign.
