Tottenham Hotspur Express Interest in AS Monaco Forward Breel Embolo
AS Monaco’s Swiss striker Breel Embolo, 27, has caught the attention of Tottenham Hotspur, who are considering a move for the player before the transfer window closes. This development comes amid interest from Italian side Como and discussions about a potential swap deal with Bayern Munich involving Mathys Tel.
Embolo’s future at Monaco remains uncertain, with his contract set to expire in 18 months. Despite being a key player in build-up play, his goal-scoring record has been disappointing this season. The recent acquisition of Mika Biereth and the impending return of Folarin Balogun from injury further complicate Embolo’s position at the club.
Monaco has set a €20 million price tag for Embolo, which has deterred Como but hasn’t dissuaded Tottenham. The Premier League club’s interest could lead to a transfer either this month or in the summer, as Monaco faces the prospect of having four strikers competing for one position.
The potential swap deal with Bayern Munich involving Mathys Tel adds another layer of intrigue to the situation. Tel, a French youth international, is reportedly keen to leave the German champions, which could facilitate a move for Embolo.
As the transfer window nears its close, all eyes will be on Embolo’s situation, with Tottenham emerging as a serious contender for the Swiss international’s signature.
