UMVA has learned that Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are quietly making moves to sign highly sought-after French attacker Maghnes Akliouche from AS Monaco.
The 24-year-old winger has been making waves in France with his impressive skills and goalscoring form, and both Premier League powerhouses are eager to bring him on board. According to information obtained by UMVA, Akliouche's price tag stands at a whopping £40 million, a sum that could prove to be a valuable investment for either club.
Pete O'Rourke, a well-known insider, has revealed that Tottenham has been keeping tabs on Akliouche's progress and is eager to stay informed about his future. However, the London club's lack of European football and rival interest from other clubs may make it difficult for them to secure his signature.
Akliouche's impressive stats this season, with 7 goals and 11 assists, have caught the attention of Spurs' scouts, who believe he has the technical ability and flair to create opportunities for his teammates. The French attacker's ability to take on defenders and break down deep defenses could be just what the Spurs need to address their toothless forward line.
Manchester United, meanwhile, could use more quality on the flanks, but Akliouche's arrival would depend on regular opportunities to start ahead of established players like Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. A move to Tottenham might be more suitable for the young player, as it would offer him a chance to play regular football and unlock his full potential.
The asking price of £40 million may seem steep, but experts believe Akliouche has the potential to justify it in the future. With his consistent displays in France, this could be the right time for him to take on a new challenge in the Premier League, where he could improve further and become a key player for either Spurs or United.
