Can such a young player fill Son Heung-min's gap with certainty. Tottenham are considering a French prospect as a replacement for Son Heung-min.

The British Football Insider reported on the 24th (Korea time) 'AS Monaco is ready to accept an offer worth around 47.5 million pounds (about 88.9 billion won) regarding the transfer of Magnes Akliouche, and Tottenham Hotspur are accelerating negotiations' The information was reported by Peter O'Rourke, who is very familiar with Tottenham's internal news. It is quite reliable content.

O'Rourke said on Football Insider on the 22nd that it was an exclusive report and reported that `AS Monaco star A'Cliouche is attracting Tottenham's attention as a `cheap alternative' to Savinho and Eberechi Eze. At the time, O'Rourke said: "Man City have continued to reject Tottenham's interest because they have no intention of letting Savinho go. So Tottenham are looking for an alternative, and the standout player at the moment is 23-year-old Monaco star Ackliouche. He is a very talented young player and could be a cheaper alternative to Savinho," he said directly.

Acklouche, who was born in 2002, is a promising player who grew up in AS Monaco. Aklouche, who joined the first team from the 2021-2022 season, has shown steady growth. After jumping to the starting lineup from the 2023-2024 season, he became the team's present and future player through last season's performance award.




Acklouche, who can play as a right winger and an attacking midfielder, is the type of person who pokes creative passes based on his outstanding technical skills. Although his physical condition is not excellent, he is a style that covers his shortcomings with young spirit.

Football Insider hopes Akliouche will be the one to solve the gap in the side playmaker. After Savinho, Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White failed to recruit, Akliwsch is likely to be a realistic answer. Savinho and Acklouche explained that Tottenham is considered a must-have resource this summer.

However, with Manchester City still not willing to send Savinho, Tottenham cannot insist on Savinho alone. Tottenham is currently considering a third offer worth 65 million pounds (about 121.7 billion won), but Manchester City still has no intention of cutting the price tag of 70 million pounds (about 131.1 billion won). As a result, Tottenham wants Aklouche in case they fail to recruit Savinho. Acliouche is much cheaper than Savinho at £47.5 million.

It is fortunate that he is considering a plan B with Aklouche, but it is unclear whether Son Heung-min's gap can be erased with Aklouche. This is because Aklouche is a prospect who is just growing up. It was the first time last season that he played his first full season as a main player. Although it has grown dramatically with 7 goals and 12 assists in 43 official games, it is hard to erase the feeling that it is too much to expect from one prospect who is growing to fill the vacancy of Son Heung-min and James Madison at the same time.
