Tottenham Hotspur are stepping up their interest in AS Monaco forward Breel Embolo, with the Premier League side reportedly considering a late swoop for the Swiss international, per L’Équipe.
Breel Embolo, 27, has found himself at a crossroads in Monaco, where his crucial role in build-up play has been overshadowed by struggles in front of goal.
With less than 18 months left on his contract and stiff competition for the striker position—bolstered by the arrival of Mika Biereth, Folarin Balogun’s pending return from long injury layoff, and George Ilenikhena’s rise—Embolo’s departure appears increasingly likely.
AS Monaco have set a €20m price tag for Embolo, a figure that has deterred Serie B side Como but remains within Tottenham’s financial reach.
As the clock ticks on the transfer window, Tottenham may look to Breel Embolo as the answer to their attacking needs, setting up a potentially pivotal move for all parties involved.
