Interestingly, the outlet also spoke to the Slovenian club’s sporting director, Andrej Zacik, who confirmed that Suleiman is attracting a lot of interest from the continent.
While he refused to name the interested clubs, he opened the door to a January sale of the winger.
Zacik told the publication about the Spurs target: “A lot of clubs are watching Sani. So, it’s not just noise or speculation. There is real interest. However, it’s difficult to determine exactly how many clubs there are.
“Some teams are just probing him for now, others are already going a little further. In addition, there are also teams that are communicating directly with the player’s agent. However, there is definitely interest.”
When asked if Suleiman could be sold in January, the Trencin director responded: “It can happen.”
