Tottenham Hotspur are making waves in the transfer market once again after completing the signing of Antonin Kinsky, with reports suggesting the club has now turned its attention to signing Andy Diouf from RC Lens.
Ange Postecoglou’s second season at the helm of Tottenham Hotspur has been marked by injuries, which have presented significant challenges that the Australian manager has had to navigate.
Among these setbacks, the loss of Guglielmo Vicario has been particularly problematic, forcing Tottenham to address their goalkeeping department in the January transfer window.
The Lilywhites recently secured the signing of Antonin Kinsky from Slavia Prague for £12.5m, while this acquisition provides a solution between the posts, it seems that Tottenham’s activity in the transfer market is far from over.
With the winter window offering limited time, the club’s focus has shifted to bolstering the midfield.
Sources close to TBR Football’s Chief Correspondent Graeme Bailey have revealed that Tottenham Hotspur have made an approach to RC Lens regarding Andy Diouf, the promising French midfielder who has been attracting attention across Europe.
This revelation comes as Crystal Palace, another Premier League side keen on strengthening their squad, has also entered the fray with a formal enquiry of their own.
However, RC Lens are reportedly hesitant to part with the 21-year-old in the current window, as they are keen to retain his services until the summer.
Despite this, financial constraints at the Ligue 1 club could play a decisive role, with reports suggesting that they may be compelled to cash in on the midfielder sooner than anticipated.
Andy Diouf’s credentials speak for themselves. The midfielder was named UEFA Europa Conference League Young Player of the Season in the 2022/23 campaign, a testament to his impact at FC Basel, where he also earned a spot in the competition’s Team of the Season.
Should Tottenham successfully secure Diouf’s signature, he will provide an additional layer of depth and versatility to a squad that thrives on energy and relentless pressing.
The competition for places would undoubtedly intensify, pushing existing players to elevate their performances while also ensuring the team remains well-equipped to handle the rigours of a congested schedule.
