Fabrizio Romano says Spurs have fallen out of the race for exciting midfielder

Fabrizio Romano has now revealed that Tottenham Hotspur have fallen behind the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich in the race for Rennes sensation Desire Doue.

Desire Doue was linked with Spurs

Doue hit the limelight after breaking into Rennes’ starting eleven last season, with the versatile attacking midfielder quickly gaining a reputation as one of the best young players in Ligue 1.

Until a few weeks ago, the 19-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Tottenham, with various outlets suggesting that Spurs are among the clubs at the front of the queue for the teenager’s signature.

In fact, it was even alleged by CaughtOffside two weeks ago that both the Lilywhites and Chelsea had held talks with Doue’s agent regarding a summer move.

Tottenham no longer expected to compete for Doue

However, the speculation linking Doue to Spurs has since gone quiet and Romano believes that the Premier League side are now unlikely to win the race for the youngster.

In fact, the journalist explained that both PSG and Bayern have already launched massive offers to land the Rennes star.

When asked about Tottenham’s pursuit of Doue, Romano told The Debrief: “I think he will not go to Spurs, it will be between PSG and Bayern.

“Bayern already presented a new bid €55m package, PSG’s bid is around €60m, exactly what Rennes want. I think it could be this week, but it’s not guaranteed yet.”

Hopefully, Tottenham’s abandonment of the Doue deal is a sign that they are planning a major assault to sign Eberechi Eze, who appears to be one of Ange’s top targets.

However, it is going to prove extremely difficult to get the 25-year-old out of Selhurst Park.
