Tottenham Hotspur are looking to strengthen their attack before Monday’s transfer deadline and have set their sights on a former Premier League winger.
This transfer window has been an uninspiring one from a Tottenham perspective, with Conor Gallagher and Souza being the only two players to arrive through the door so far.
Thomas Frank has made it clear Spurs are still in the market, and the supporters will be hoping that the Lilywhites can pull a surprise out of the bag within the next few days.
It has now emerged that the North Londoners have turned their attention to a winger who impressed in his only season in the Premier League.
Tottenham want to sign Moussa Diaby from Saudi Pro League
The Independent have revealed that Spurs are exploring a move for Al-Ittihad winger Moussa Diaby.
The 26-year-old spent the 2023/24 season with Aston Villa following his arrival from Bayer Leverkusen, scoring 10 goals and registering 11 assists in his only campaign in England before moving to the Saudi club.
It is revealed that Diaby is ready to return to Europe and is open to joining a Champions League club.
Tottenham, who sealed progression to the round of 16 stage of the Champions League this week, are exploring a move for the Frenchman if they make a last-ditch attempt to add to their attacking options.
Spurs battling Serie A giants for Diaby
The Independent state that the Lilywhites would have to see off competition from Inter Milan to land the former Villa man.
Inter, who will be involved in the Champions League knockout playoffs next month, were initially favourites to secure Diaby and were looking to close the deal on Thursday.
However, they left a ‘gap’ which Tottenham are trying to take advantage of and hijack the move, with the winger currently ‘assessing his options’.
