Tottenham are reported strong admirers of Harry Maguire.
Tottenham Hotspur are reported to be long term admirers of Harry Maguire and their chances of a summer swoop may be aided by Leicester City’s own transfer activity.
The Sun report Leicester are leading the race to sign West Bromwich Albion defender Jonny Evans, available for just £3 million due to a relegation release clause in his contract.
Evans would be a real bargain for the Foxes, but the deal could open the door for Tottenham to make a move for Harry Maguire.
Spurs were linked to Maguire last summer and his performances for Leicester may not not have deterred the North London side.
It was former Leicester boss Craig Shakespeare who persuaded him to choose Leicester, and in the short term it was the right decision.
Now the situation may be changing, with Tottenham set to sell Toby Alderweireld this summer and needing a replacement.
Maguire fits the bill, he is proven in the Premier League, English, and Tottenham’s interest is already established.
The Sun report Manchester City are keen on Maguire, with a £50 million price tag placed on him by Leicester.
This seems excessive but Tottenham can acquire the funds from their imminent sale of Alderweireld, and Evans’ arrival at Leicester could end up re-igniting their attempts to bring the defender to North London.
