The reputable Italian transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano recently revealed that Tottenham is planning to reinforce the defense and they have directed attention to Manuel Akanji center -back of Man City.
On social network X, Romano talked about Spurs being pursuing Akanji as follows: “Tottenham is targeting three targets before the summer transfer market is closed, and Man City's Akanji is one of these. Not only Tottenham but AC Milan is also keeping an eye on Akanji. They are willing to spend £ 15 million in exchange for Akanji but still have to negotiate personalities with the Swiss player.”
Interestingly, Tottenham wants to buy more defenders in the context that their defense is playing quite well. The evidence is that in the English Premier League this season Tottenham still has not received any goals after 2 matches against Burnley (won 3-0) and Man City (2-0).
Back to Akanji, this 30 -year -old Swiss, who is having the 3rd season for Man City. Along with the blue half of Manchester, he won 7 titles, including 2 times to the Premier League.
If coming to Tottenham, Akanji will become the 8th rookie to join Spurs this summer. Earlier, the rooster recruited and bought Kevin Danso, Mathys Tel, Luka Vuškovic, Max McFadden, Kōta Takai, Mohammed Kudus and Mason Melia.
