Everton and Nottingham Forest target Senegal and Tottenham midfielder Pape Matar Sarr

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pape Matar Sarr has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Premier League rivals Everton and Nottingham Forest ahead of the new season.

The Senegal international could leave Spurs during the current summer transfer window following increased competition for places in midfield.

The Premier League outfit have strengthened their options with the arrivals of Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes, potentially making it more difficult for Sarr to secure regular playing time.

According to reports, Everton and Nottingham Forest are both interested in signing the 23-year-old midfielder and are monitoring his situation at the North London club.

Tottenham are reportedly prepared to consider selling Sarr if their £30 million valuation is met, although the club’s willingness to sanction a departure could depend on the offers received.

Sarr has been an important squad member since joining Spurs and has gained considerable Premier League experience, while his performances for Senegal have further enhanced his reputation.

However, the arrival of additional midfield options could alter his position within the squad and force the player to consider his future.

Everton and Nottingham Forest could provide Sarr with an opportunity to remain in the Premier League while potentially taking on a more prominent role.

The Senegalese midfielder will now have to weigh up his options as interest from both clubs develops, with Tottenham’s £30 million asking price likely to be a key factor in determining whether a transfer materialises.
