Tottenham are looking to sign Alassane Plea of Nice, according to reports from France. RMC (h/t The Sun) claims that we have even bid £23million for the 25-year-old striker. Plea was in decent form for the Ligue 1 side last season as he scored 21 goals in all competitions for the team.
The forward can play either as a winger or as a central striker and he could be the answer to having a quality back-up for Harry Kane.
Nice will not be competing in the Champions League next season and that could be the prize we can dangle in hopes of signing the former France U21 striker.
Kane has been carrying the burden of scoring goals for three years now and maybe Plea can be the man to step up whenever the Englishman needs a break.
This has been one rumour that has quickly gathered a lot of steam in the past week or so and a number of Tottenham fans on Twitter were not convinced that Plea is the real deal for the side.
Never seen him play myself but from what I’ve heard of those who have, he is not great.

Plea and grealish both sound close not the most exciting signings however if we’re going to get them make sure it’s done before pre season give both the best chance of success next season

Plea is to Martial as Stambouli was to Schneiderlin.

Another useless signing from the French league

Is this a ‘come and get me Plea’?

He would be a good backup for Kane?
