Tottenham told Maghnes Akliouche offer will be accepted

Monaco will accept a bid of around £47.5million for Maghnes Akliouche as Tottenham Hotspur accelerate a deal, sources have told Football Insider.

Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed what his sources have said about Spurs’ interest in the promising Ligue 1 playmaker.

Football Insider revealed on 22 August that Tottenham had identified Akliouche as an alternative to Savinho, after they saw two bids of £43m and a reported £60m rejected for the Manchester City winger.

Akliouche has emerged as one of France’s most exciting young talents since making his Monaco debut in 2021 and has been a regular for the last two seasons, with 13 goals and 14 assists in his Ligue 1 career.

Man City have placed a £70m price tag on Savinho’s head after Spurs’ two previous bids, and sources have told Football Insider that Akliouche could available for the much cheaper valuation of £47.5m.

Football Insider sources have said that Monaco are willing to sell the 23-year-old for a fee in the region of that £47.5m price tag, giving Tottenham a more realistic alternative in their pursuit of Savinho.
