Would cost £0: Tottenham now set to open talks for PL’s “best” right-back
Tottenham Hotspur are now eager to sign the Premier League’s “best” right-back, and they are expected to open agent talks soon, according to a report.
Spurs pursuing full-backs amid Udogie interest
Tottenham’s performances in the Premier League this season are a major cause for concern, but Destiny Udogie has done enough to attract the attention of Manchester City, with Pep Guardiola’s side pushing to sign the 22-year-old.
As such, Ange Postecoglou may be tasked with bringing in a new left-back this summer, should the 59-year-old remain in his post as manager, and AC Milan’s Theo Hernandez has now been identified as a key target.
There have also been suggestions that Spurs could look to strengthen on the opposite side of defence this summer, having opened talks to sign Flamengo right-back Wesley Franca last month, and a new target has now entered the frame alongside the Brazilian.

Spurs are in the race for a midfielder, who is also being targeted by Premier League rivals Chelsea.
According to a report from Caught Offside, Tottenham are now eager to sign Nottingham Forest defender Ola Aina, with the Nigerian’s performances this season catching the eye of a whole host of Premier League clubs.
Newcastle United, Liverpool and Chelsea are also named as potential suitors for the defender, so there could be fierce competition for his signature this summer, and there is also a chance he remains at the City Ground.
Forest are looking to offer Aina a new long-term contract, in a bid to ward off the interest from elsewhere, but it could be difficult to retain his services, with Spurs expected to open agent talks in the near future.
The right-back’s current deal is set to expire at the end of the summer, which means he could be available on a free transfer, should he fail to agree fresh terms with Forest.
