Manchester City is ready to sell Manuel Akanji this summer, with interest from Tottenham Hotspur.
The London outfit hopes to sign the 30-year-old defender before the windows close. Defensive units require more quality and depth. Players like Christian Romero and Mickey Van de Ben have suffered from injuries last season, with Tottenham looking to add more depth before the windows close.
Manuel Akanji needs a new start
Akanji struggles with his regular game in Manchester City, and a participation in Tottenham might be ideal for him. The 30-year-old has shown his quality in the Premier League and he could be a very useful player for Tottenham. It will be interesting to see if they can negotiate a reasonable deal to sign him.
According to football insiders, Manchester City is now ready to sell Swiss International with the “right offer.” The players have extensive experience in English football and have won major trophies such as the Premier League title and the UEFA Champions League. He could prove to be a great addition to Tottenham. Aside from his qualities as a player, his winning experience and leadership can prove to be invaluable to the club. If they can sign in for a reasonable amount, it could prove to be a great acquisition for them.
Crystal Palace is also enthusiastic about Akanji.
Spurs need players like Akanji
The Spurs aim to build on UEFA Europa League victory since last season. They will want to challenge the trophies regularly, and signing players like Akanji will be a step in the right direction.
The 30-year-old is very often at the peak of his career, and he aims to make an immediate impact at the London Club as the movement progresses. The fact that Manchester City is ready to sell him would be a huge boost for Tottenham. And it remains to be seen whether they are encouraged to submit official proposals now.
