Confirmed reports suggest that negotiations over the transfer of Manuel Akanji are ongoing, with Tottenham pushing to land the defender from Manchester City to strengthen their squad. Discussions are said to be constructive, with the structure of the deal - including add-ons and bonuses - now under consideration, although there is currently no confirmation of an agreed fee for the player. The player is aware of the interest and would reportedly be open to the move, should personal terms be agreed. Inter, Milan and Crystal Palace may look to intervene if talks continue without resolution. With only 5 goals conceded in 7 (0.71 per game), Tottenham have been one of the stronger defences in the Premier League this season.. Manuel Akanji would be asked to keep that standard and provide dependable cover when needed. Manchester City continue to be linked with Senne Lammens, Ademola Lookman and Josh Acheampong while Tottenham are also rumoured to be tracking Jadon Sancho, Adrien Rabiot and Alexander Sorloth.
