Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly eyeing West Ham United defender Arthur Masuaku.

The Sun report Spurs are weighing up a summer move for the left-back, valued at £20 million.

Tottenham’s London rivals Chelsea are also claimed to be keen on the 24-year-old.

Masuaku is in his second season at the Hammers, and has made 21 Premier League appearances, providing three assists.

The Frenchman would be a potential replacement for Danny Rose, who has been repeatedly linked with an exit from Spurs.

In recent days Tottenham have been linked with Southampton’s Ryan Bertrand, also via The Sun, with Fulham’s Ryan Sessegnon believed to be a top target.

Getting a chance to play Champions League football and challenge for trophies could tempt Masuaku to make the switch, but he would have to bear in mind he would become a hate figure at West Ham in the process.

Pressure already mounting on West Ham’s board from fans could deter them from dealing with Spurs, with any move likely to be received extremely negatively.
