Spurs are refusing to slow down. With Mateus Fernandes already signed and Sandro Tonali edging closer, Tottenham are now shifting focus to attack — and Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche is firmly on the radar.

Why De Zerbi Needs Him

Roberto De Zerbi’s right flank has been a problem area. Dejan Kulusevski and Wilson Odobert have both struggled for fitness, while Randal Kolo Muani and Mathys Tel failed to convince out wide last season. Akliouche, valued at £52 million, offers exactly the kind of directness and end product that’s been missing.

PSG’s Interest Could Actually Help Spurs

Here’s the twist: PSG being in the race might not be the threat it looks like. With Desire Doue, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembele all ahead of him in Luis Enrique’s pecking order, Akliouche would likely be fighting for scraps at the Parc des Princes. At Spurs, he starts.

The Numbers Back Him

Seven goals and 11 assists last season tell their own story. Akliouche isn’t just a dribbler — he gets into the box, creates high-value chances, and finishes them too. De Zerbi would be wise to use him centrally rather than pin him to the touchline.

Money Talks, But So Does Minutes

Spurs can match the £52 million valuation. Whether they can match PSG’s wages is another question entirely. But if Akliouche wants Champions League football and a guaranteed starting shirt, north London might just be the more tempting pitch.
