According to Football.London’s Alasdair Gold, Tottenham have forged a good relationship with Rennes, and they could try to take advantage of that to land Desire Doue.
On the back of Doue’s stellar breakout season at Rennes in 2023-24, the 19-year-old’s future has understandably been the subject of much speculation this summer, with Tottenham being one of the clubs credited with an interest in the youngster (TEAMtalk).
Gold now brings the latest on the matter, confirming that the versatile attacker is very much part of the Lilywhites’ shortlist.
He says that the Frenchman’s ability to operate in either flank or through the middle is one of the reasons why Ange Postecoglou’s men hold a ‘strong interest’ in the player.
He points out that Doue fits the transfer profile that Tottenham are after – a moderately expensive player who can become a star in the years.
However, Gold explains that a deal for the attacking midfielder will not be straightforward, with several top clubs, including Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, thought to be eyeing him.
Finally, the journalist points out that Spurs do have a good relationship with Rennes, having loaned them Joe Rodon and Djed Spence in the past, and this could work to the Premier League side’s advantage in their pursuit of France Under-21 international.
Spurs Web Opinion
I suspect Tottenham view Doue as a cheaper and more attainable alternative to Eberechi Eze, with a deal for the Palace star looking quite complicated to pull off this summer.
I would not be surprised if we see Spurs make advances towards the Ligue 1 starlet over the coming weeks.
