Tottenham would have to bid £42.5m to match Saudi offer for winger target
Tottenham Hotspur have just received some bad news in their pursuit of a Bundesliga star as the player is now reportedly the subject of strong interest from several Saudi Pro League sides.
It will be interesting to see the kind of reinforcements that Spurs make to their forward line, which has underperformed for much of the season.
It has been reported by various outlets over the last month that Tottenham are plotting a move to sign Kingsley Coman, who has just one year left on his contract at Bayern Munich.
It emerged last week that Arsenal have shown the most serious interest in Coman, and the Lilywhites have been handed further bad news in their pursuit of the Bayern man.
Saudi clubs prepared to spend big on Kingsley Coman
It has now been revealed by Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg that the Frenchman now has his sights on a move to the Middle East.
This is after all of the top four Saudi Arabian clubs expressed an interest in signing him, with the journalist explaining that they are ready to spend €50m (£42.5m) on the 29-year-old.
Plettenberg adds that Kingsley Coman could earn a whopping €25m (£21.2m) a year in Saudi Arabia, and while he makes no mention of Tottenham Hotspur, he says that Arsenal remains a ‘concrete option’ for the winger.
Tottenham have started to look at Premier League alternatives for Coman
Given the tight wage structure Spurs have, it seems unlikely that they are going to persuade Coman to arrive at N17.
If reports over the last few weeks are to be believed, the Lilywhites are now turning their attention to Premier League wingers to bolster their attack.
It has been widely reported that Tottenham are keen to win the race to sign Tyler Dibling while some sources have also suggested that Spurs are willing to spend big on Antonie Semenyo.
