Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly quickly moving on from the Morgan Gibbs-White snub and have now initiated contact over a deal for the Nottingham Forest star’s England teammate.
Regular readers of Spurs Web will be aware that over the last week, an increasing number of sources are now crediting Tottenham Hotspur with a serious interest in a Man United youngster, whose future at Old Trafford is in doubt.
It has been reported that Kobbie Mainoo is on Tottenham’s radar after the youngster fell down Rubem Amorim’s pecking order during the final months of last season.
Some sources have claimed that Spurs have a realistic chance of landing Mainoo this summer as the youngster’s talks with Man United over a new deal have hit a stalemate.
Tottenham have made contact over a deal for Kobbie Mainoo
GiveMeSport have now claimed that Spurs have made their first contact over a deal for the Man United youngster as his contract issue remains unresolved.
The report asserts that Thomas Frank’s men love the versatility that the 20-year-old offers, and they have now launched some informal enquiries to understand how difficult a deal for the youngster would prove to be.
The North Londoners have been keeping an eye on the midfielder’s contract situation and have now decided to initiate contact.
It is unclear if Spurs received any encouragement, with the report making it clear that Man United are not actively seeking a buyer for the England man at the moment.
Tottenham hope Man United change Mainoo transfer stance
GiveMeSport reveal that the hope at the North London club is that the Red Devils would be tempted to cash in on the midfielder if the contract standoff drags on.
The North London club see Mainoo as a great market opportunity, given that he is currently on a modest salary and has expressed a desire for regular game time.
Ahead of the World Cup year, the youngster may want to prove his value to Thomas Tuchel, and Spurs are hoping that this tempts the youngster to consider an exit from Old Trafford this summer.
