Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly dispatched scouts to assess a trio of promising talents from AS Monaco, with one player in particular turning heads above the rest. In pursuit of bolstering their squad, Spurs’ scouting efforts have unearthed some potential gems in Ligue 1, despite a summer transfer window that already saw them significantly reinforce their squad.
Following a challenging previous Premier League season, where they narrowly avoided relegation, Tottenham have already added eight new faces to their ranks. Immediate first-team inclusions like Mohammed Kudus and Joao Palhinha underscore their aggressive recruiting strategy, with newcomers Xavi Simons and Mathys Tel also making impressions.
Currently, standing third in the Premier League table, Tottenham are setting their sights on future acquisitions. Recent reports from TBRFootball indicate Tottenham’s scouts observed Monaco’s recent 2-1 triumph over Auxerre, specifically focusing on Maghnes Akliouche, Vanderson, and Lamine Camara.
Akliouche and Vanderson were subjects of interest during the previous summer, and it seems Spurs’ intrigue hasn’t waned, especially as right-back Vanderson’s role remains crucial to Spurs’ recruitment plans. On the pitch, Vanderson excelled, earning the highest match rating of 8.2, courtesy of an assist and a robust 12 defensive actions, as reported by Fotmob.
Meanwhile, Akliouche’s contribution did not go unnoticed as well. Scoring a respectable 7.6 rating, he displayed his attacking flair and registered the second-highest expected assists for his team, outperforming Vanderson’s 0.28 despite not directly creating a goal.
Lamine Camara made a fleeting 12-minute appearance, registering a 6.7 match rating. He holds a familiar connection with Tottenham’s Pape Matar Sarr through their shared Senegalese heritage.
Akliouche, a versatile player capable of operating as a winger or attacking midfielder, has already racked up two goals and an assist in four appearances this season. Esteemed football insider David Ornstein recently highlighted Akliouche’s burgeoning reputation, suggesting the young Frenchman possesses exceptional potential to become one of the top attacking midfielders in the game.
This proactive approach by Spurs in scouting Ligue 1 talent underscores their intent to remain competitive and bolster their squad with versatile and high-potential players as they look to maintain their upper-tier Premier League standing.
