El Khannouss is alleged to be one of the options on Tottenham’s radar, with the Moroccan impressing in his debut Premier League season last term despite Leicester City’s relegation.
Over the last 24 hours, some sources have suggested that Daniel Levy has personally stepped in to tie up a deal for the Leicester star, and it has now been revealed what the youngster thinks about a switch to N17.
