Turning their attention towards the summer transfer window, Tottenham Hotspur are now racing to sign an in-demand midfielder who Pape Matar Sarr already has experience playing alongside.
Tottenham transfer news
To say that Spurs need to get things right this summer would be an understatement. They’ve so far stuck by Ange Postecoglou and chosen to blame a frustrating list of injury concerns over the Australian’s tactical stubbornness in recent weeks. Now, they must back their manager in the summer transfer window with some much-needed reinforcements.
On that front, the Lilywhites have already been linked to a number of potential options. From Como star Nico Paz all the way to Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo, Spurs are seemingly preparing for a busy window.
Whether they can attract such talent is another question, of course. Languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League, it’s increasingly likely that Spurs will miss out on European football altogether this season unless they win the Europa League to secure a shock Champions League place.
By qualifying for the Champions League and rescuing their season as a result, those in North London would also put themselves in a stronger position to welcome one particular reinforcement this summer.
According to The Boot Room, Tottenham are now racing to sign Lamine Camara from AS Monaco after sending their scouts to watch the impressive 21-year-old midfielder.

They’re not alone in their interest, however, with Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa and other top European clubs forming quite the queue for Camara’s signature. In a tough battle, Champions League football would, of course, go a long way but Spurs may also have another way to convince the Monaco star this summer.
Those in North London could use the fact that Pape Matar Sarr already knows Camara well from their time together as part of the Senegal midfield and attempt to reunite the pair at club level.

Following another season to forget for Yves Bissouma, both on and off the pitch, Camara could emerge to end his time in Postecoglou’s strongest side and take Senegal’s midfield partnership to club level.
Dubbed a “phenomenal ground dueller” by analyst Ben Mattinson, the Monaco man would add the discipline that Bissouma otherwise lacks.
From a struggling midfield trio in the current campaign, Spurs’ dream scenario could yet see Sarr, Archie Gray and Camara form quite the partnership at the heart of Postecoglou’s side. With a busy summer ahead, the 21-year-old’s arrival would be an impressive way for the Lilywhites to commence their transfer window.
