Leicester Nears Deal for Bilal El Khannouss
Tottenham Hotspur had been in discussions to sign Genk’s talented playmaker Bilal El Khannouss earlier this year, as reported by voetbalkrant.
The Morocco international was identified as a summer target, with Liverpool also showing interest.
However, El Khannouss is now poised to join Leicester City for around £17.2 million, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
The highly-rated ‘wonderkid,’ as noted by FourFourTwo, is expected to undergo a medical on Wednesday and finalize a four-year contract with The Foxes.
Tottenham Still Seeking a Left-Back
Tottenham remains active in the transfer market and is likely to make one or two more signings.
A left-back is reportedly a priority as they seek to provide cover for Destiny Udogie, although no specific names have been mentioned in the media.
Michael Kayode, identified as a right-back target for Spurs, could potentially serve as backup at left-back if necessary.
