Tottenham Hotspur hopes to sign Manchester City defender Manuel Akangee during the summer transfer.
According to Fabrizio Romano, they are approaching to sign Swiss International and it will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done. They are not alone in the race to sign players. AC Milan is ready to pay £15 million to complete the transaction.
Crystal Palace is also enthusiastic about Swiss International.
Spurs can use Akanji
Tottenham need to improve defensively, and it’s no surprise that they’re keen to the age of 30. He was able to prove that it was a useful acquisition for them. He was well settled in the Premier League and was able to make an immediate impact.
He is unlikely to score regular game time in Manchester City. Leaving the club could potentially allow Tottenham to use more depth with their teams and provide more opportunities for defenders. It is still unknown how the situation will develop.
Tottenham recently secured an agreement with RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons. It appears they are already working on other deals. It is still unknown whether the defensive units can be improved before the window closes.
Manuel Akanji is a convenient option
They are off to an impressive start to their Premier League campaign and are trying to maintain that form. For that to happen, you need a quality player. Signing a proven performer in the Premier League might be a wise decision. Akanji has won a major trophy in Manchester City, and his winning experience could prove to be invaluable.
The players are so many at the peak of his strength that he wouldn’t want to sit on the Manchester City bench. The transition to the North London Club might be ideal. They can provide him with a platform to fight for the trophy and compete in the UEFA Champions League.
