Desire Doue is a popular target this summer

Doue’s stock has risen massively over the last 12 months, with the attacking midfielder now widely viewed as one of the best young players in French football.

The interest in the 19-year-old’s services appears to be heating up, with The Sun revealing over the weekend that Spurs, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are battling it out for the player’s signature.

The report claimed that the Bavarian club had an offer of around £30m turned down by Rennes for the teenager.

Spurs and Chelsea holding talks over Doue

CaughtOffside have now named the same four clubs as the leading contenders to land Doue.

They say that the two London sides are currently locked in talks with Rennes to find out information about the deal but neither side have pressed ahead with an offer.

Meanwhile, it is revealed that PSG are soon expected to begin talks with their fellow Ligue 1 side regarding the youngster’s availability.

Finally, the publication adds that Rennes have made it clear to interested clubs that it would take an offer of around €50m (£42m) to prise Doue away from Roazhon Park.

Spurs Web Opinion

I get the feeling that Tottenham are doing their groundwork on this deal as a contingency in case their pursuit of Eberechi Eze fails.

I suspect the Palace star continues to remain at the top of Ange Postecoglou’s wishlist.
