Overview

  • Tottenham have identified Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche as an alternative to Manchester City’s Savinho, according to the Independent.
  • Manchester City are understood to want around £60m for Savinho, a figure Spurs are unwilling to meet after bids last week fell short.
  • Savinho was left out of City’s Premier League opener at Wolves, increasing scrutiny of his status as competition for wide roles remains intense.
  • Pep Guardiola said interested clubs must speak to City and noted the player’s wishes matter, while declining to confirm whether Savinho will stay.
  • Reports suggest Monaco could seek roughly €55m (£47.5m) for Akliouche, who impressed last season and scored in their 3-1 win over Le Havre.
