Report: Tottenham Hotspur keen on AS Monaco centre-back and Wolverhampton Wanderers target Benoit Badiashile

According to TF1 (via GFFN), Tottenham Hotspur have joined Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers in formally enquiring about AS Monaco centre-back Benoit Badiashile. Manchester United also expressed an interest in the 18-year-old earlier in the window, but none have tabled a bid yet. Spurs’ boss Mauricio Pochettino wants to boost his backline with the future of Belgium international centre-back Toby Alderwerield still in doubt. Monaco Director General Oleg Petrov has no intention of selling Badiashile except an enormous offer is made, and it remains to be seen if the youngster is open to leaving the Principality club this summer given his steady development.
