Tottenham Hotspur could make shock late move for £60m England midfielder
After missing out on Eberechi Eze, Tottenham Hotspur could turn their attention back to an England international midfielder, whom they explored a move earlier this summer.
It remains to be seen how Spurs will respond after seeing their move for Eze being hijacked by their North London rivals.
Some outlets have claimed over the last 24 hours that Tottenham are setting their sights on audacious signings such as Morgan Rogers, but a new report has suggested another young English midfielder is also on the Lilywhites’ sights.
Earlier this summer, Spurs were credited with an interest in Man United starlet Kobbie Mainoo, and it has now been alleged that a deal for the 20-year-old will be within the North London club’s reach.
Tottenham prepared to make a late move for Kobbie Mainoo
According to GiveMeSport, Kobbie Mainoo will be sacrificed by Man United this summer to offset their huge summer outlay, and Tottenham are interested.
The Red Devils have spent around £200m on revamping their frontline, securing Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbuemo and Benjamin Sesko, and they are thus ready to cash in on Mainoo for £60m.
The outlet claims that Spurs are waiting to take the bait, with the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium emerging as a potential late destination for the United academy graduate.
