Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing 24-year-old Lyon midfielder Maxence Caqueret, a target for Crystal Palace, Everton, and West Ham United.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Crystal Palace, Everton, and West Ham United are keen on Maxence Caqueret as well. Lyon are under pressure to sell some players in order to raise funds. The crisis-struck Ligue 1 club are going through financial difficulties, and they have already been punished for the same.
Les Gones are under pressure to sell key players, and Tottenham should look to take advantage of the situation and sign the 24-year-old midfielder in January. However, as iterated earlier, they will face stiff competition from other Premier League clubs.
Maxence Caqueret has been an important player for Lyon, and he has the quality to do well in the Premier League as well. He will add some much-needed quality and depth to the Tottenham midfield. The North London club are currently pushing for UEFA Champions League qualification, and they need quality players in order to get their season back on track.
Tottenham are struggling right now, and their performances have been quite underwhelming. Despite having a quality squad at their disposal, Spurs have not been able to put inconsistent performances. It would be ideal for them to invest in quality signings during january.
Crystal Palace, Everton, and West Ham United also keen
Crystal Palace need physicality and control in the middle of the park as well. The 24-year-old midfielder could be the ideal fit for them. He is capable of operating as a defensive midfielder as well as a central midfielder. So amid the relentless links surrounding Adam Wharton, Crystal Palace can do with a new midfielder.
Everton need upgrades on players like Tim Iroegbunam, and the 24-year-old will help them improve further. He could form a solid partnership with Idrissa Gueye, Abdoulaye Doucoure and James Garner.
As far as West Ham United are concerned, they have endured a mediocre campaign so far, and they will be desperate to turn things around. They need more quality in the midfield, and the 24-year-old could be the ideal acquisition for them.
Players like Guido Rodriguez and Carlos Soler have not been able to dominate contests in the middle of the park, and they will hope that the 24-year-old Frenchman can make a positive difference for them if the move goes through. Caqueret will certainly be attracted to the idea of playing in the Premier League, and it remains to be seen where he ends up.
