Tottenham have been linked with signing their third PSG star in a year.

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for Paris Saint-Germain left-back Layvin Kurzawa, with RMC Sport reporting their interest.

The former Monaco left-back has made 25 appearances for PSG this season, but RMC Sport reports he feels he must leave PSG to progress his career.

A move by Tottenham would be a big power play by the Premier League side, raiding PSG for the third time in 12 months.

Kurzawa would join Serge Aurier and Lucas Moura in making the move to North London if a deal went ahead.

That in itself is notable, and a sign Tottenham are considered an attractive club by top players.

Kurzawa is more involved in PSG’s current side than either Lucas or Aurier had been when they were sold, but he has not had it all his own way this season.

A move by Tottenham would be significant for them as one of Europe’s big guns, but it would also help convince Mauricio Pochettino to defy any efforts from the French side if they try to acquire his services.

ESPN report Pochettino is on PSG’s shortlist along with Chelsea’s Antonio Conte if they decide to fire Unai Emery after a disappointing Champions League elimination to Real Madrid.

Signing yet another player from the French giants would help show Pochettino that London and not Paris is the place for him, and provide another top level player to add to their squad.
