Tottenham can succeed for Youri Tielemans if they prioritise him.
Tottenham Hotspur are battling to sign Monaco ace Youri Tielemans, The Independent report.
Tielemans impressed on loan at Leicester this season, proving he can cut it in the Premier League.
Spurs’ chase for Tielemans is not just complicating by Leicester, but from Manchester United too.
United have the funds to knock Tottenham out of the equation at least in terms of wages, despite not having Champions League football to offer.
Fortunately for Tottenham, United are not going full throttle for Tielemans at this point.
The Independent‘s report claims United only want Tielemans if Paul Pogba is sold.
Considering the Red Devils are seeking a £150 million fee for Pogba, via The Times, it is a deal which might not be happening anytime soon, if at all.
This gives Spurs a clearer run for now at Tielemans, and if they really push for him now, Leicester may be their only real competition.
