Tottenham transfer boost after £29m proposal made for Rennes star

Bayern Munich have had a proposal worth over £29million rejected for Rennes starlet Desire Doue as per Fabrizio Romano, which could leave the door open for Tottenham Hotspur to prize the 19-year-old to north London.

The Frenchman has been subject to waves of transfer speculation after impressing in Ligue 1 last season – he made 10 goal contributions in 43 domestic appearances last season.

Manchester United and Arsenal are thought to be monitoring the player but Spurs are reported to most interested by the prospect.

Doue is a French international at Under-17s, Under-19s, and Under-21s levels, featuring in warm-up clashes for Thierry Henry’s French Olympic squad, mostly made up of players under the age of 23 – whether the tournament may delay a potential transfer is not yet known.

The prospect is traditionally a left winger but can switch into central positions when required. Ange Postecoglou is on the hunt for a left-sided midfielder, his side has been linked with Wolves’ Pedro Neto and Nico Williams – the winger has had an exceptional UEFA Euro 2024 and will be subject to further speculation after Sunday’s final in Berlin.

Spurs fans should expect an exciting, skillful player if Doue is to choose Postecoglou’s side as his preferred destination. The youngster explained his admiration for Lionel Messi and Neymar in an Interview with One Football, he said: “I drew a lot of inspiration from them. They were two players who were at the top of their game when I was a teenager. They made me dream!”

He continued, explaining his style of play: “I think you know, I like to dribble. I’d have to say it’s the step-over! It’s effective and elegant at the same time. You can really destabilise an opponent, so it’s a move I like a lot. I wouldn’t say I’ve got both feet, but I’m comfortable with both and that helps me to do this type of move.”
