Report: Tottenham monitoring Chelsea target Jules Kounde

Totten🌺ham Hotspur remain interested in signing Jules Kounde this summer, that Sevilla may be open t🃏o selling the Frenchman for less than his release clause.

Kounde looked to be a top target for Tottenham last summer. In fact, reports claimed that a fee had been agreed. Spurs were ready to pay £25.5 million and send Davinson Sanch🥂ez to La Li👍ga.

However, the 23-year-old decided against joining Spurs. A🐈nd ultimately, he stayed with Sevilla.

🍨Super Deporte suggests that a host of Premier L🤪eague sides are ready to make a move this summer. And Chelsea are in pole position to land the former Bordeaux player.

Howeve♎r, the report adds that Tottenham are still admirers. Manchester United meanwhile, also find themselves in the running.

Sevilla, for their part, have wanted Kounde’s £67 mi💛llion buy-out clause to be triggered if he is going to leave. But that an offer approaching £58.6 million could be enough to get a deal done in the next window.

Tottenham will hope to spring surprise and land Kounde ahead of Chelsea

It is ominous for Tottenham that Kounde has already rejected a move to North London. Howe🃏ver, Spurs have since made a big statement by appointing Antonio Co🍰nte as their manager.

That may leave them with some real hope that♛ they could spring a surprise this summer. The importance of this next window is only increasing as Spurs toil in the top-four race.

Fabio Paratici also appears to have a good re💫lationship with Sevilla supremo Monchi. They obviously agreed a potential deal for Kounde last summer. And they also agreed t꧅erms over a move involving Erik Lamela and Bryan Gil.

Kounde is a player Julen Lopetegui lauded for ha🔯ving a ‘‘ attitude. And he looks to have the potential to become an outstanding defender. So it woulꦓd be a real coup if Tottenham could yet snatch him from Chelsea’s grasp.
