Despite the impressive form of Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali, a pair valued at £185 million, Tottenham still have their eyes on another midfielder in Youssouf Fofana.This is arguably the best Tottenham Hotspur’s midfield has looked in a while. Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali have been superb for Spurs in their last three games.The double pivot of Fernandes and Tonali is one of the reasons for Tottenham’s newfound success in the Premier League, as they have played a big role in Roberto De Zerbi’s side’s four-game unbeaten run in the English top flight.Fernandes complements Tonali well, with the Portuguese standing out for his defensive stats, while Tonali offers cover higher up the pitch with his pressing.At the moment, it will be a difficult task for the other Spurs midfielders to dislodge the pair.Photo by Marco Luzzani/Getty ImagesTottenham target Youssouf Fofana despite midfield formHowever, despite the impressive displays from Tonali and Fernandes, a report from Fichero claims that Spurs have set their sights on another midfield target.The player in question is Youssouf Fofana, who is currently on loan at Sevilla from AC Milan. So far this season, the 27-year-old has registered four goal contributions, scoring once and assisting three times in eight appearances.That is more than Fernandes and Tonali have managed this campaign, with neither of the two having scored a goal in a Tottenham shirt yet.StatsFofanaFernandesTonaliClubSevilla (on loan)SpursSpursApps8119Starts769Goals100Assists331Goal contributions431Minutes618573789Mins per contribution155191789Yellow cards020However, while Spurs are interested in Fofana, it is explained that a move is likely to happen next summer, when his loan expires.Spurs face Juventus and Manchester United competition for FofanaItalian heavyweights Juventus are also keen on Fofana and stand as Spurs’ biggest competition for the midfielder’s signature, with the report describing the battle between the two sides as an open war.Manchester United, though, might also pose a threat. It is understood that the Red Devils are considering putting in a bid for Fofana this winter.Spurs are very much alert to the situation, but the Lilywhites are not looking to make a move for Fofana now and would rather do so in the summer.Once he returns from his loan spell with Sevilla, he will have just a year left on his AC Milan contract, leaving the summer of 2027 as Milan’s last opportunity to cash in on him if they fail to extend his deal.So far, though, the midfielder is not in the plans of AC Milan boss Ruben Amorim.READ MORE: Tottenham battle Arsenal and Chelsea to sign £50m Aleksey Batrakov after four Champions League goalsThe post Tottenham want to build even further on £185m midfield by signing AC Milan loanee appeared first on Spurs Web.
