Tottenham are reportedly keen on Monaco defenders Almamy Toure and Djibril Sidibe.
Monaco’s Djibril Sidibe celebrates scoring against Tottenham
According to the Daily Mail, Tottenham Hotspur are interested in landing Monaco full backs Almamy Toure and Djibril Sidibe.
Spurs head into tonight’s game against Leicester City knowing that they will finish in second place this season, and Mauricio Pochettino’s men will move into Wembley Stadium this summer with work to do in the transfer market.
Not only do Spurs want to add quality to their squad in a bid to mount another Premier League title bid next season, but they will need to keep hold of key players too.
Right back Kyle Walker is one player being strongly linked with a move away from Tottenham, and two right backs are now being touted as possible replacements for the England international.

The Daily Mail report that two Monaco right backs are interesting Spurs, with Almamy Toure and Djibril Sidibe both believed to be on Tottenham’s transfer wish list this summer.
Toure, 21, has come up through the ranks with Monaco, and he has been a regular first-team player this season, notching five assists in 27 appearances for Leonardo Jardim’s side.

The Malian looks set for a bright future, but Tottenham have also looked at a more proven and established full back in Monaco team-mate Sidibe.
24-year-old Sidibe only joined Monaco from Lille last summer, and he revealed to The Mirror in 2016 that he snubbed a move to Arsenal before making his move to the Stade Louis II.
Sidibe, who can also play at left back, has registered three goals and five assists this season, earning France international caps in the process – and after reaching the Champions League semi-finals, Monaco can expect bids for key players this summer, with Spurs now seemingly hunting Sidibe and Toure.
