Tottenham Hotspur is making a concerted effort to secure the signing of Wolverhampton Wanderers left-back Rayan Aït-Nouri, according to reports from England.
The Algerian international has emerged as a key target for Spurs as they look to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
Aït-Nouri, 23, has been in fine form for Wolves this season, making 32 appearances across all competitions, scoring four goals, and providing five assists.
In the Premier League, he has featured 28 times, finding the net three times and registering five assists.
His consistent performances have drawn the attention of several top clubs, including Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and West Ham.
Since arriving at Molineux from Angers in 2021, Aït-Nouri has racked up 148 appearances, scoring 11 goals and assisting 13.
His development into one of the league’s most dynamic full-backs has made him a sought-after player ahead of the summer transfer window.
Tottenham’s determination to secure a deal
Spurs are reportedly pushing ahead with their pursuit of Aït-Nouri and have already submitted an initial bid.
The London club has tabled a £29 million offer, but Wolves are holding out for £40 million.
Wolverhampton may struggle to keep hold of the Algerian, given their underwhelming season and the mounting interest from Premier League rivals.
Aït-Nouri viewed as the ideal signing
Tottenham’s move for Aït-Nouri is driven by uncertainties surrounding Destiny Udogie, prompting manager Ange Postecoglou and chairman Daniel Levy to explore alternative options for the left-back position.
The Algerian’s blend of defensive reliability and attacking flair makes him a perfect fit for Spurs’ style of play.
Aït-Nouri has been one of Wolves’ most consistent performers this season, second only to Matheus Cunha, with an average rating of 6.84/10.
His ability to contribute at both ends of the pitch has strengthened his case as a top transfer target.
Despite the strong interest, Aït-Nouri is in no rush to decide his future.
Reports indicate that he plans to wait until the end of the season before making a final choice.
With Tottenham eager to secure his signature, the coming months will be crucial in determining whether he will be making the move to North London.
