A Tottenham midfielder, whose future has been the subject of much speculation, has emerged as a late target for a Saudi Pro League club.
While Djed Spence and Cristian Romero are on the verge of sealing a move away from Tottenham, they are not the only senior players who are expected to leave before the window slams shut.
Spurs have made significant additions to their midfield department, handing Roberto De Zerbi a brand new double-pivot of Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali ahead of his first full season in charge.
This has raised question marks over the futures of several of their midfielders, and one of those is now being linked with a move to the Middle East.
Al Ahli eyeing move for Tottenham’s Pape Matar Sarr
Pape Sarr has reportedly been put in the shop window by Spurs, and the 23-year-old is now the subject of interest from Saudi Arabia.
According to The Daily Mail, Al Ahli are now exploring a late move for the Senegal international as they look to bolster their midfield.
The report says that Sarr will be allowed to leave Spurs if a suitable offer arrives, and adds that the player is also of interest to both Aston Villa and Brentford.
It is revealed that the player is open to exploring moves away from Tottenham as he expects his starting opportunities to be limited in the upcoming season.
How much do Spurs want for Sarr?
This comes on the back of reports over recent days suggesting that Aston Villa want to replace Youri Tielemans with the Tottenham midfielder.
According to Football Insider, Spurs have told the Villans to pay £30m for Sarr, who Unai Emery’s men are said to be ‘big admirers’ of.
Tottenham would be hoping Al Ahli’s entrance into the race pushes up the price, but it remains to be seen if the 23-year-old is open to a move to the Middle East.
