According to Marca, Valencia have received an offer from an unnamed Premier League club for reported Tottenham Hotspur target Geoffrey Kondogbia.

The Spanish club have made big changes to their playing squad this past summer.

Star names such as Dani Parejo, Ferran Torres and Rodrigo have all been sold, the latter joining newly-promoted Leeds United for a club record £35 million fee.

Now, it appears Kondogbia could be the next to leave on deadline day.

A report two months ago from Footmercato claimed Tottenham Hotspur wanted the 27-year-old, with manager Jose Mourinho a long-time admirer of the midfielder.

This came after a report by Sky Sports in April claiming Spurs were keen back then.

But a move for Kondogbia by Spurs has evidently yet to materialise. Now, the latest reports claim they have been joined by a league rival in eyeing a potential deadline deal.

Marca say an unnamed Premier League club based over 100 miles north of London has sent an intermediary to Valencia, holding talks with the player over a move.

Valencia, meanwhile, are seeking a £23 million fee for the France international.

Tottenham head into deadline day coming off the back of a stunning 6-1 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on what was a crazy day of Premier League football.

Many felt Spurs were lacking in midfield prior to the summer. New signing Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has certainly given them a lift, while Tanguy Ndombele was excellent at Old Trafford.

Ndombele on such form will feel like a new signing for Spurs after last year’s struggles, and an injury-free Moussa Sissoko will also bolster Mourinho’s options.

Kondogbia has plenty of ability, but perhaps Spurs now feel they no longer need him.
