Maghnes Akliouche cannot switch from France to Algeria under FIFA rules

Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of Maghnes Akliouche appears to be slipping as the Monaco midfielder continues to elevate his profile across Europe.

The 24-year-old showcased his growing influence once more on Friday, scoring in Monaco’s 3-1 victory over Paris Saint-Germain, a performance that highlighted why top clubs are now circling.

Akliouche has impressed consistently in Ligue 1 this season, attracting attention from Spurs, who monitored him closely throughout both the August and January transfer windows but never submitted a formal offer.

While the North London club still have him on their radar for the summer, recent developments could complicate any approach.

Tottenham are enduring a challenging campaign, dragged into a Premier League relegation scrap, which weakens their appeal for a player whose stock is rising rapidly.

The French midfielder’s talent has not gone unnoticed elsewhere. Several Premier League rivals, including Manchester City and Arsenal, are actively tracking his progress, while additional English clubs are believed to be assessing his potential.

Beyond England, European heavyweights like Bayern Munich and Inter Milan are also following Akliouche’s performances closely, signaling that competition for his signature will be fierce.
