Tottenham Hotspur allegedly made a move for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Tottenham Hotspur are in the market for a number of signings this summer, and finding a new right back should be a priority.
Kieran Trippier didn’t hit top form last season, and Serge Aurier didn’t make much of an impact either, meaning the Ivorian may be moved on after a couple of underwhelming seasons.
Finding replacements may be difficult, and it seems that Tottenham haven’t been able to land their top target in that area.
The Times report that Tottenham did want to land Crystal Palace right back Aaron Wan-Bissaka, but were unable to sign him before Manchester United swooped in to pay a £50million fee with £80,000-a-week in wages.
It’s stated that Spurs did in fact offer cash plus Kyle Walker-Peters to try and sign Wan-Bissaka, but Palace didn’t bite on their swap bid.
It’s unclear just how much money Spurs offered as part of the deal, but Tottenham fans have been taking to Twitter to react to the new claims about a move.
Many have suggested that they don’t like the idea of giving up Walker-Peters, believing that he could become just as good as Wan-Bissaka with more regular playing time and good coaching by Mauricio Pochettino.
Others recommended Nice defender Youcef Atal as the ideal target at right back, believing the speedy Algerian would be perfect to bring in amid claims from The Telegraph that Spurs have been talking about a £34million deal.
