Tottenham Hotspur have shown an interest in PSV Eindhoven winger Johan Bakayoko but face competition from Brentford.
Johan Bakayoko is still on Brentford’s radar for January after missing out on the PSV Eindhoven star over the summer.
That is according to Sky Sports, who claim that Brentford are looking at attacking signings for January.
The Bees will lose both Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa in January with the Africa Cup of Nations on the horizon.
Ivan Toney continues to be linked away and Brentford may now look to invest in more attacking talent.
Brentford rivalling Tottenham Hotspur in Johan Bakayoko race
Sky Sports claim that Brentford want Real Betis talent Assane Diao but are still considering PSV star Bakayoko.
Bakayoko seemed close to joining Brentford for around £35million back in August.
Bakayoko had a change of heart though, deciding to stay in Eindhoven having helped PSV qualify for the Champions League.
The Bees remain interested but the report adds that Tottenham Hotspur have been keeping tabs on Bakayoko too.
Tottenham were interested back in August and appear to have maintained that interest in the opening months of this season.
Tottenham may move for another winger in 2024
Spurs invested in one winger on deadline day as Brennan Johnson arrived from Nottingham Forest.
Ange Postecoglou may be keen to add another left-footer though with Bryan Gil yet to make an impact in North London.
Bakayoko would fit the bill as competition for Dejan Kulusevski down Tottenham’s right flank.
The Belgian international has hit four goals and 12 assists so far this season and is showing enormous potential at 20.
Agent Gerard Witters has suggested that Bakayoko is a ‘very explosive’ talent who has improved his decision-making to become a more rounded talent.
Bakayoko appears destined for big things and Tottenham may well challenge Brentford for his signature come January.
