Tottenham Hotspur have been in contact over a deal to sign Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche this summer, with the player already deciding his next club, according to TEAMtalk.
Tottenham have been the busiest Premier League club in the summer transfer window to date, with four new arrivals through the door before July 1.
Paul O'Keefe had reported that Spurs were looking to make seven signings this summer earlier this month, but it appears as though it could be more if rumours are to be believed.
The North London outfit are already trying to sign both Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes from Newcastle United and West Ham United respectively to bolster their midfield, and if they got both it would take their total to six additions.
O'Keefe himself said that he expected new signings across the front three at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which would then take the total up to nine if they pulled it off.
Of course, signing a striker could depend on either Dominic Solanke or Richarlison leaving the club, with new signings on the wing looking the more likely right now following the exit of Randal Kolo Muani after his unsuccessful loan spell from Paris Saint-Germain.
According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham are one of many Premier League clubs who have had intermediaries in contact with Akliouche's agents during the summer transfer window.
Spurs, along with English rivals Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle, were all scouting the 24-year-old extensively last season, with intermediaries of those clubs maintaining regular contact over whether a move for the 'insane' French attacker was possible.
However, talks have since been progressing between Monaco and Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain over a deal, with the player himself deciding he wants to stay in France with the Ligue 1 champions - something he has told his other potential suitors.
Akliouche looks set to cost in the region of ÂŁ60m, which could prove to be a bargain in the long-term given the versatility he has shown by playing on either wing and through the middle too.
His primary position by far last term was playing from the right flank however, which is interesting given one of Spurs' other main targets this summer has been the left-sided Savinho.
Tottenham In Talks Over Savinho Deal
Having tried to sign him last summer, it was no surprise that Savinho was one of the first players heavily linked with a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium now, even though a different manager is in charge.
Spurs look to need another addition on the left wing to boost their squad, and the Brazilian fits the bill given he was seen as good enough for City to sign him in the first place.
According to Fabrizio Romano earlier this month, Tottenham are in talks over a deal to bring the attacker in.
The 22-year-old found first-team minutes harder to come by last season, but Tottenham have still been unable to come to a club-to-club agreement with City to bring him to the capital.
City did only confirm Enzo Maresca as their new manager on Monday, so perhaps that has been one of the hold-ups and now a move can move quickly, or be called off altogether if the Italian decides he wants to keep the South American at the Etihad.
