Tottenham are negotiating with Al-Ittihad star Moussa Diaby amid competition from Inter Milan
Tottenham Hotspur are in a race against time to strengthen their squad before the current winter transfer window closes, with the London club setting their sights on French star Moussa Diaby, winger for Saudi club Al-Ittihad, in a move that reflects Spurs' desire to bolster their attacking force to compete for top positions in the English Premier League.
Details of English interest and Italian competition
According to a report published by the British newspaper The Independent, Tottenham Hotspur are seriously considering signing Diaby, but the task will not be easy. The English club faces stiff competition from Italian giants Inter Milan, who have also expressed strong interest in acquiring the 26-year-old's services, setting the stage for a financial and tactical battle between the two clubs to secure the signature of the talented French winger.
Tottenham's motivations and search for attacking solutions
These moves come at a time when Tottenham are facing a genuine crisis in attack, due to a recent spate of injuries. Reports indicate the absence of key players like Richarlison, leaving the manager in a tactical dilemma that requires a quick solution before the transfer window closes. The club is looking to capitalize on Diaby's previous experience in European football, as his exceptional speed and dribbling skills make him an ideal fit for the fast-paced style of play in the English Premier League.
Diaby's career and brilliance with Al-Ittihad
Moussa Diaby is no stranger to the spotlight, having previously shone in the German Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen, delivering impressive performances that attracted the attention of Europe's top clubs before his move to the Saudi league. In his current stint, press reports have highlighted the significant impact Diaby has had on Al-Ittihad, playing a pivotal role in the team's attacking system.
According to the sources, Diaby contributed effectively to helping Al-Ittihad, as he finished the season with a remarkable record of 15 assists, equal to Al-Hilal star Salem Al-Dawsari, which confirms his high technical value and ability to make a difference, making him a strategic target for European clubs wishing to regain his services.
Challenges of the deal in the winter transfer window
Despite strong interest from Tottenham and Inter Milan, completing the deal faces challenges related to Al-Ittihad's determination to retain its star players, especially given the high level of competition in the Saudi Professional League. The next few days will be crucial in determining the player's fate and whether he will return to Europe or continue his journey in Saudi football.
