The French international is being targeted as a potential Kyle Walker replacement.

Tottenham Hotspur are on the hunt for a new right-back, with it looking increasingly likely that Kyle Walker will be on his way out of the club this summer. Manchester City are very keen on the player and it seems the England international is open to the move.
Plenty of names have been linked with filling the right-back role at Spurs as a consequence, including that of Monaco and France defender Djibril Sidibe.
The 24-year-old, who scored his first goal for France in the 3-2 win against England yesterday, has been in fine form with Monaco this season and is versatile enough to play on both sides of defence.
Now, according to a report from Le 10 Sport, Spurs are moving into position to make a move for the player. But perhaps the most important part of this latest report highlights how the player himself feels about a potential move. He is said to be very keen on the idea of heading to play for Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham side.

Spurs know full well what Sidibe is capable of, as he was part of the Monaco team that beat Spurs twice in the Champions League last season.
Tottenham, who are also believed to be looking at Porto-owned Nice loanee Ricardo Pereira, will no doubt be hoping they can snap up one of the duo this summer.
