Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche is reportedly ‘edging closer’ to a departure from the French club this summer, with Tottenham Hotspur among a growing list of interested Premier League teams. According to Football Insider, Monaco are now ‘prepared to sell’ the 24-year-old to raise funds.
Tottenham have previously shown interest in Akliouche, having seen a move rejected in January. The club are expected to be active in the transfer market, aiming to strengthen their squad after a challenging season that currently sees them 17th in the Premier League table with two games remaining. An attacking reinforcement is considered a priority.
Akliouche has enjoyed a productive season in Ligue 1, contributing six goals and seven assists. He has been a consistent performer for Monaco, showcasing his potential as a dynamic winger capable of both scoring and creating opportunities. This form has attracted attention from several top clubs across Europe.
Aston Villa have emerged as a confirmed rival for Akliouche’s signature, with sources indicating they are preparing a significant investment in their squad ahead of their return to the Champions League next season. Further competition is expected from Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Newcastle United, making for a highly contested transfer battle. Sky Sports’ Pete O’Rourke suggests Tottenham’s lack of European football could hinder their chances, but the club are keen to remain informed of Akliouche’s situation. The winger’s future will likely depend on the offers presented and his own ambitions, but a move away from Monaco appears increasingly probable.
