Tottenham join the race to sign Florian Thauvin – Report

According to reports from Estadio Deportivo, Tottenham Hotspur are “closely following” the developments of Marseille winger Florian Thauvin ahead of a potential summer move.

The report claims that the Marseille president gave Thauvin an ultimatum in January – either he should renew his contract or leave.

However, the 28-year-old ignored the pressure and continued playing under Andre Villas-Boas. He has been performing well under the current manager, Jorge Sampaoli, but there’s no indication that he will sign a new deal at the club between now and end of the season.

Sevilla and AC Milan are interested in him, while Roma and Napoli are also closely following his situation.
