Following the Appointment of Nuno Espirito Santo at Spurs the former Wolves boss is already planning to spend some serious cash with the collaboration of a top scouting team and his director of football Fabio Paratici, formerly of Juventus.
Following the termination of Jose Mourinho's contract and the caretaker role of Ryan Mason, Spurs bought in former Wolves Gaffer NES and following a seventh-place finish in the Premier League and a GA of Forty-Five, Nuno looks set to Improve on the ageing back line and whilst he will be keen on sticking with former Wolves Player Matt Doherty at right back and the Left Back Sergio Reguilon, The new manager will be In the market for fresh players in particular Centre Backs.
One target in the Centre back position is Jules Kounde of Sevilla, the French Centre back signed for his current club in July 2019 and joined on a five-year contract from Bordeaux in Ligue Un Uber eats (The French First Division)
Following Two Seasons at Sevilla Kounde has Sixty-Three LaLiga games and Fourteen Europa League games, he also won a single Europa League title.
The Italian Journalist Fabrizio Romano has spoken on his “Here We Go” Podcast and said that Paratici has spoken to the agents of Kounde to try bringing him to Spurs.
Spurs Face stiff competition from a lot of clubs with Kounde admitting he will need to leave Sevilla to make his game go to the next level, Competition for the signature of the Frenchman will come from Real Madrid, Arsenal and Manchester United. The Centre back is valued at Fifty-Four million pounds.
Real Madrid has the upper hand in the race for the Twenty-two-year-old as The Los Blancos are set to offer Isco to Sevilla as the Attacking Midfielder is not in Carlo Ancelotti's plans for Next season. It would also not be a huge change in environment for the Frenchman as he would only be going across the country of Spain, A cash sum of around Forty-Two Million Pounds would also be required but the Sevilla boss is a huge admirer of Isco and would want him at Sevilla.
Champions League winners Chelsea was rumored to be interested in a player-plus-cash deal for Kounde according to reports earlier this year.
It is thought Thomas Tuchel’s side were willing to offer Hakim Ziyech as part of a potential deal. However, the Price tag of Nearly Seventy Million pounds at the time was enough to put off the London based club.
New managers usually come with new financial backing ad his value has dipped to around 50 million pounds, Spurs are also opened to swapping players and are thought to be the Centre-Backs choice between them and Arsenal.
Jules has Three Years left on his deal so Sevilla can hold out for a large fee and Nuno is said to have wanted him at Wolves just last Summer.
He would most likely be paired with veteran Belgium Centre-Back Toby Alderweireld which has been a main stay in the spurs side under Poch and Mourinho.
