The Mirror have reported that Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Nordi Mukiele, who was linked with a move to Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in the January transfer window.
Tottenham are among a number of clubs interested in signing Mukiele from RB Leipzig in the summer transfer window, according to The Mirror.
Leipzig reportedly want £17 million as transfer fee for the 24-year-old defender.
The report has added that Tottenham have been offered the chance to sign France international right-back.
The Mirror have also claimed that Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain have been offered the chance to sign the Frenchman as well.
Potential Arsenal competition for Tottenham Hotspur for Nordi Mukiele
Interestingly, Tottenham Hotspur’s bitter North London rivals Arsenal were linked with Nordi Mukiele in the middle of this past season.
The Athletic reported in January that Arsenal ‘hold an interest’ in the right-back.
Takehiro Tomiyasu is the first-choice right-back at Arsenal, and the Japan international moved to the Gunners only last summer.
However, there has been speculation in recent days that Arsenal are in the market for another right-back.
The Gunners have made a bid for Nahuel Molina, according to Marca.
This suggests that Arsenal still want to sign a right-back, and maybe they will try to sign Mukiele.
Mukiele, who can also play as a right wing-back, made 21 starts and seven substitute appearances in the Bundesliga this past season.
The 24-year-old scored one goal and gave three assists in those games.
The defender also scored one goal and gave one assist in six Campions League games and played twice in the Europa League.
