According to Le 10 Sport, Paris Saint-Germain are not plotting a move for Rennes starlet Desire Doue, thus potentially opening the door for Spurs to push ahead with a move for the midfielder.
Doue has had an outstanding season for Rennes and the 18-year-old is now being backed to make a big move this summer.
Journalist Abdellah Boulma was the first to report a couple of days ago that Tottenham are one of the clubs circling over the teenager but he suggested that it was actually PSG who were front of the queue to sign the player.
On Sunday, The Daily Mail also backed up Spurs’ interest in Doue, adding that the youngster is also on the radars of Man Utd and Arsenal ahead of the summer transfer window.
The outlet asserted that it would take a fee of over £35m to prise the midfielder away from Roazhon Park this summer.
PSG not expected to move for Desire Doue
Le10Sport have now offered the aforementioned Premier League sides a boost by stating that PSG have not yet made any approaches for Doue.
The report says that while the youngster does excite the Parisians, he is not on the club’s summer transfer wishlist.
The publication adds that Doue seems ‘destined’ to make a ‘big transfer’ before the start of next season but he will not be moving to Paris.
Spurs Web Opinion
With PSG out of the way, Spurs might fancy their chances of winning the race for Doue. Postecoglou might be able to make a persuasive case to the midfielder that his development would be best served by coming to Tottenham.
