According to the British media Daily Telegraph, after missing Eze and Morgan Gibbs White, Tottenham is seeking an alternative and is currently interested in Monaco striker Akliushe.

After reaching personal terms with Crystal Palace and Eze, Tottenham's transfer operation was intercepted by Arsenal. This forced Tottenham to turn to other goals, and Akliusch, who is competent for the wing and middle positions, has become its long-term focus.

In addition to Tottenham, Akliusch also attracted the attention of Leverkusen. Although Monaco hopes to keep him for another season, it is reported that the player himself is preparing to leave the team this summer. Sources believe that if an attractive offer appears, Monaco will release people.

Como midfielder Nico Pas is another player Tottenham Hotspur is concerned about. The club has also inspected Manchester City winger Savignho this summer. Interest in Southampton winger Dibrin can be traced back to last season. Tottenham will play away against Manchester City on Saturday, which provides the possibility of meeting before or after the game.

As a French U21 international, Akliusch performed amazingly in two seasons as the regular main player of Monaco's first team and received high praise. Monaco director Thiago Scuro publicly expressed his desire to keep Akliushe this month.

The previous budget of more than £60 million prepared by Tottenham for Gibbs White and Eze may put them in a more disadvantageous position in negotiating with the club, especially the current transfer window is not much time left.

Frank also hopes to sign forward Visa, who has coached at Brentford. The player has suffered two failed bids on Newcastle.

It is reported that Tottenham had been willing to send Richarlison to Crystal Palace as the Eze trade, and Richarlison has attracted the interest of at least another Premier League club.
