Nayef Aguerd emerges as an option for Tottenham Hotspur
According to Jeunes Foooteux, West Ham United defender Nayef Aguerd emerges as a target for Tottenham in the summer.
The Moroccan has been impressive for West Ham United in his first season in the Premier League, and he could be the perfect addition to Tottenham’s squad. This has caught the eye of Tottenham.
Aguerd is a left-footed centre-back, which is exactly what Tottenham are looking for. They have been playing with a back three this season, and having a left-footed centre-back is crucial in this system.
However, it will not be easy to sign Aguerd from West Ham. The Hammers are unlikely to want to sell one of their best players to a local rival. Moreover, Aguerd will not come cheap, and Tottenham will have to pay a considerable sum to acquire him.
There have been talks between Tottenham and Barcelona over the future of Clement Lenglet. Still, there is no indication that anything concrete has materialized from these discussions, at least for now.
Lenglet’s future remains uncertain, and Tottenham could decide to send him back to Barcelona in the summer. If that happens, Aguerd could be an achievable option for Tottenham. The club could move for him in the summer.
Aguerd has been highly rated in France, where he played for Stade Rennais before joining West Ham. He has also had an impressive international career with Morocco, helping them reach the semifinals of the Africa Cup of Nations and the World Cup.
Aguerd has shown that he has the physical profile to excel in the Premier League, and he could be a valuable addition to Tottenham’s squad. However, it remains to be seen if the new manager rates him.
