Tottenham expected to ‘quickly concretely move’ for forward – ‘Very keen’ to get deal done
It appears that Tottenham are going to target Elye Wahi to replace, at least partially, Harry Kane once the England international heads to Germany.
The interest from Spurs has been rife for some time, and even Montpellier’s president recently stated he was expecting an offer from the London side.
Well, that could be on its way, as Foot Mercato are reporting that Tottenham are ‘very keen’ and on the trail of the young forward, who scored 19 goals in Ligue 1 lsat season.
In fact, it’s stated that Spurs could ‘quickly concretely move’ for the forward, who wants to leave his side this summer if he can.
While Chelsea were an option, they haven’t taken their interest beyond a first offer of €27.5m that was deemed insufficient by the French club.
Therefore, Tottenham will need to bid higher than that if they want Wahi, and with the money coming in from the Kane sale, that shouldn’t be too difficult to pull off if they really want the youngster.
The belief is that at least €30m are required by Montpellier to get a transfer over the line for the 20-year-old.

The Germans had three bids rejected for the England captain, but they did not give up. They continued talks with Daniel Levy and finally managed to convince him yesterday.
Now, the focus is on Kane to make his final decision.
That’s the only thing, bar final details, stopping this deal from going through, and Plettenberg has claimed that he cannot imagine a scenario in which Kane would say no.
He said: “Bayern sources confirmed to me that there is an agreement in principle between Bayern and Tottenham now at this stage after heavy negotiations in the last hour. But, from Bayern’s point of you, it’s not 100 per cent done deal because last details have to be clarified between the clubs.
“This is, right now, in progress. But honestly, I cannot imagine Harry Kane saying no.
“Harry Kane has made clear he wants to join Bayern. He has a verbal agreement. He can sign a contract, to my understanding, until 2028. Five years contract maybe with some exit options. Bayern is 100 per cent sure Harry Kane will join Bayern Munich FC definitely.”
