Tottenham Hotspur has now reached a deal with “generational” Premier League midfielders because they like his versatility, a report said.
Spurs fight to sign new midfielder in Bisoma uncertainty
There are numerous speculations surrounding Yves’Bissouma’s future in north London, and while midfielders have made it clear that he is eager to stay in the UK, people like AC Milan and Fenerbahce are called potential suitors.
With midfielder’s contract expiring next summer, it makes sense for the Spurs to remove him from books this summer, and they can still charge fees, and recently they have stepped up their pursuit of potential replacements.
Bayern Munich’s Joao Palhinha is one of the main targets, and Fabrizio Romano recently revealed that it has been linked with the Portuguese international camp, but Lilywhites also has a Premier League player as an alternative.
Indeed, according to a Givemesport report, Tottenham has now approached a potential deal with Manchester United for Kobbie Mainoo, and his contract situation at Old Trafford remains unresolved, potentially opening the door to exits.
Informal inquiries have been conducted to assess whether Mainoo can make a deal, and the Spurs are said to be a big fan of midfielder versatility.
The 20-year-old found it difficult to force him into Ruben Amorim’s plan, and the North Londoner hopes United will cash out this summer, but the expensive side could be expensive, with the Red Devils reportedly holding for £70 million.
“Cross-by-generation” Mainoo may have a better long-term signature than Palhinha
Palhinha was very impressive during her time in Fulham and was praised as “world-class” by journalist Dom Smith, but the Bayern midfielder is now 30, making him a decade-old Mainoo senior.

A report revealed that the Spurs are retaining players from one of their main competitors.
Not only that, since moving to Bayern, the Portuguese masters have not kicked off, with only 17 Bundesliga appearances last semester, suggesting he could be more suitable for playing for smaller clubs like Fulham.
On the other hand, the Manchester United midfielder has been praised by writer Liam Canning as a “generational” player, who has made 72 appearances for the Red Devils, scoring seven goals and two assists.
The Stockport-born midfielder also demonstrates his versatility by taking regular defensive and offensive roles, but his performance has not yet proven to be £70m and the Spurs should try to close the deal at a lower price.
