Tottenham interested in AS Monaco’s Breel Embolo | OneFootball

Breel Embolo (27), the subject of an approach from Como, is also a target for Tottenham Hotspur and could leave AS Monaco before the closure of the transfer window, according to a report from L’Équipe.

Embolo has had a season of contrasting fortunes at Monaco. Crucial in build-up, he has nonetheless struggled in front of goal and, with his contract expiring in under 18 months, the question of his future is an increasingly pertinent one. Mika Biereth has already been recruited in his position, Folarin Balogun will return to full fitness, perhaps in March, and George Ilenikhena’s development will also have to be factored in. That would leave four strikers competing for one position. A departure, either this month or in the summer, would seem logical.

Monaco value the Switzerland international at €20m, which has put off Como, however, in the Premier League, Tottenham are interested. A swap deal involving Mathys Tel at Bayern Munich has also been considered. The France youth international wants to leave the Bavarian club, as per L’Équipe.
