Lille winger attracting Premier League interest

 

Lille winger Sofiane Boufal is attracting interest from Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur, reports L'Equipe.

 

The 22-year-old is expected to depart for pastures new at the end of the season, with Valencia and PSG also credited with an interest in the Morocco international.

 

Mauricio Pochettino has made a name for himself by developing young players and has supposedly earmarked Boufal as one he can mould into his image at White Hart Lane.

 

The title contenders are expected to secure a top-4 finish at the very least, with the influx of Champions League money allowing for Pochettino to invest in the squad.

 

It is believed it will take an offer of around £20m to convince Lille into selling Boufal, with the Ligue 1 side keen on recouping as much money as possible for the youngster.
