Tottenham Hotspur appear to be keeping a close eye on AC Milan full-back Theo Hernandez, with the Frenchman said to be available for around £30 million—a figure that might tempt the North Londoners into a summer swoop.
Tottenham Hotspur could be dipping into the full-back market this summer, with fresh reports linking Destiny Udogie with a potential switch to Manchester City.
The Italian full-back, who joined Spurs just two summers ago, has clocked up 59 appearances since making the move to England—scoring twice and assisting four more in that time.
It’s been a frustrating campaign for Udogie, with injuries keeping him sidelined for large spells, disrupting the momentum he built in his debut season.
Tottenham eye £30m move for AC Milan’s Theo Hernandez
Although Udogie has returned to fitness, he’s struggled to regain his starting spot, with Djed Spence now putting pressure on that left-back berth.
With Manchester City reportedly eyeing Udogie as a target, some Spurs supporters have expressed openness to the idea of Udogie moving on this summer.
According to TBR Football, Tottenham are actively monitoring Theo Hernandez’s situation at AC Milan. The France international, who’s previously been described as “very special”, is understood to be available for around £30 million, and crucially, his wages are not believed to be outside Spurs’ current structure.
The same report claims that Tottenham’s interest in Hernandez has spiked following the growing links between Udogie and City, with the club now said to be reassessing their full-back options ahead of the window.

Spurs aren’t alone in eyeing a potential move for Hernandez, with both Chelsea and Manchester City also said to be monitoring the situation closely.
Both clubs have reportedly held informal talks with the player’s camp and could join the race depending on how the summer unfolds.
Interestingly, it has been revealed by TBR Football that Arsenal—long-time admirers of Hernandez—are not currently pushing for a move, despite being in the market for left-sided defensive reinforcements.
