It is reported by Culture PSG that Spurs made a move to snap up the player last summer. The report says he had a ‘beautiful professional’ contract offer on the table at Tottenham. However, despite the good offer from Spurs the teenager and his entourage decided that sticking with PSG was the best idea for his career.

He is now looking to make his way into the PSG first-team picture and hopes are high at the club that he can make the grade.

The powerful defender would have been an excellent recruit for Spurs – who have been doing wonders with their young talents over the past few years.

But it seems that Fode Toure Ballo is set to make a crack of it at the Parcs des Princes rather than at Hotspur Way.
