Report: Spurs are not interested in Man City defender despite previous rumours

Tottenham Hotspur could be set for a bit of a domino effect when it comes to their full-back options this summer, with one sale potentially leading to a new player coming in. But, recent reports linking the Lilywhites with a Manchester City player are not thought to have any substance to them.

Issa Kabore is a no-go for Spurs

That’s according to a piece from Football.London, which quashed rumours of Tottenham looking at Issa Kabore from Manchester City this summer.

The full-back spent last season on loan at Luton Town where he impressed, but the report from Football.London claims the idea of Spurs looking at Kabore is “wide of the mark”.

This is especially the case now that Djed Spence appears to have got himself on track and secured his Spurs future after an impressive pre-season.

The talk surrounding Kabore initially came from Mike McGrath, who tweeted saying Kabore was a “leading contender” for Spurs if they were to sell Emerson Royal. McGrath claimed Kabore had “caught the eye” and could be available for £12m.

Tottenham’s full-back situation

Whether Spurs actually need a new full-back, particularly a right-back, remains to be seen. At present, Pedro Porro would appear to be the number one choice there, with Spence and new signing Archie Gray also providing cover for the role.

Royal is also still a Spurs player as things stand, but it seems he could be on his way to AC Milan in the coming days after a protracted transfer saga since the end of last season.

Spurs Web Opinion

We do not need a new right-back, at all. Porro and Spence, with Gray as an extra backup if needed, that’s more than enough.

A new left-back, I could understand, as we only really have Udogie over that side. Thankfully this reported interest in Kabore appears to be unfounded.
