Tottenham Keep Jean‑Mattéo Bahoya on Radar as De Zerbi Looks to Add Pace on the Wings
Talks with the winger’s representatives have gauged his willingness to move while Spurs have not made a formal approach to Eintracht Frankfurt.
Overview
- Tottenham retain exploratory interest in Jean‑Mattéo Bahoya and have held representative-level discussions to test his openness to a Premier League move.
- Spurs have not contacted Eintracht Frankfurt directly, so the club’s pursuit is currently a secondary and undeveloped option rather than an active transfer bid.
- Frankfurt’s sport director Markus Krösche praised Bahoya as a "very good dribbler," highlighting the player’s fit for Roberto De Zerbi’s demand for one‑on‑one speed and dribbling on the flanks.
- Tottenham have already strengthened midfield and defence this window with signings such as Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes and Jan Paul van Hecke, leaving wing targets lower in the immediate priority list.
- Growing interest from other European clubs and teams in Saudi Arabia could raise Frankfurt’s bargaining power and force Spurs either to accelerate talks or pivot to higher‑priority targets such as Savinho.
