Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Leicester City midfielder Bilal El Khannouss this summer.

The 21-year-old has been linked with Crystal Palace as well, but Tottenham are determined to secure his signature. They are unwilling to let the 21-year-old move to the Eagles. They have recently missed out on signing Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace, and they are looking to sign the 21-year-old Championship ace now.

Spurs need more creativity

They need more creativity and cutting-edge in the final third, and the 21-year-old should prove to be an excellent acquisition. He has the technical attributes to do well in the Premier League, and he could be a player for Tottenham. According to Fichajes, they are hoping to get the deal done, and they are prepared to pay more money in order to stop him from joining Crystal Palace.

Bilal El Khannouss could fancy a Spurs move

The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be exciting for the young midfielder, and Spurs could be an attractive destination. They have an ambitious project and a quality squad. They will be able to offer him UEFA Champions League football as well. It will be interesting to see if Spurs come forward with an offer to get the deal done. Convincing the player to join them might not be too difficult. They have recently won a European trophy, and the player will certainly fancy his chances of winning trophies with Tottenham.

Meanwhile, Palace will need to replace Eze as well. The player has joined Arsenal, and they will need to fill the creative void left by him. The midfielder helped Crystal Palace win the FA Cup and Community Shield recently. They have secured European qualification as well. Crystal Palace need quality players in order to do well in the Premier League and in Europe this season. It will be interesting to see who they end up signing.
