MAN UTD TURN TO TOTTENHAM
The ongoing uncertainty surrounding the long-term future of Paul Pogba has led to Man Utd plotting a Tottenham raid.
Pogba, 28, is in the final year of his contract at Old Trafford. He was recently named on a four-man ‘contract list’ the Red Devils have drawn up.
After his stellar start to the season, it comes as no surprise to see Man Utd wish to retain the dynamic Frenchman.
But negotiating with Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola has rarely proved a straightforward task. The likes of Barcelona, PSG and Real Madrid have been reported to be lurking if a breakthrough cannot be made.
As such, Monday’s Euro Paper Talk highlighted the possibility of AC Milan enforcer Franck Kessie being drafted in to fill the void.
But according to the Express (citing Italian outlet Calciomercato), Tottenham midfielder Tanguy Ndombele is also on their radar.
Ndombele – Spurs’ club record signing at £55.45m – appeared destined to leave North London in the summer. The 24-year-old reportedly set his sights on a move elsewhere, though concrete interest failed to materialise.
New boss Nuno Espirito Santo seemingly retains hope Ndombele can be a fixture in his sides.
He started in their 3-0 defeat to Chelsea on Sunday. But prising out the undoubted talent Ndombele possesses has been a difficult task for both of Nuno’s predecessors.
Nonetheless, that task could be taken from Nuno’s hands if Man Utd come calling. Ndombele’s contract has four years left to run with Tottenham. As such, Daniel Levy would likely demand a significant fee for his signature.
