Tottenham will look to sign Valencia defensive midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia
Valencia defensive midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia is a target for Tottenham in the summer transfer window.
The 27-year-old has been subject to interest from various European clubs.
Valencia spent 22 million euros to sign the Central African Republic international from Inter Milan in the summer of 2018. The 27-year-old has a valid contract with Valencia until June 2022.
In 89 appearances for Valencia, Kondogbia has managed to score 7 goals, and create 5 goals for his teammates.
The 27-year-old is considered to be one of the best football players in Central African Republic.
As a member of Central African Republic national football team, Kondogbia won three caps and he scored one goal.
Kondogbia is set to be a man in demand in the summer transfer window, with a host of clubs queueing up to pursue his signature.
Jose Mourinho wants to sign a new defensive midfielder and Geoffrey Kondogbia is one of the names at the top of his wishlist.
He is a long term admirer of Kondogbia and believes he can get the most out of the Central African Republic international.
Geoffrey Kondogbia can play multiple positions in midfield.
According to the report, “Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho is ready to jettison Tanguy Ndombele this summer. Mourinho publicly lambasted Ndombele after last week’s draw at Burnley and is willing to see him sold. And the Portuguese already has a replacement lined up in Geoffrey Kondogbia. The dual international is in his third season with Valencia, having originally joined on-loan from Inter Milan two years ago. Capped for France, Kondogbia is now a Central African Republic international.”

Undoubtedly he would be a fantastic recruit for Spurs.
How strong that interest is and whether Spurs will make a move remains to be seen but it is certainly one worth keeping an eye on.
