Tottenham Hotspur will reportedly block any potential departure for defender Japhet Tanganga in this summer's transfer window.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly set to block any potential departure for defender Japhet Tanganga in this summer's transfer window.

The 22-year-old was set to leave the north London club on loan to gain more regular first-team experience, and had been linked with a move to Turkish giants Galatasaray.

However, according to Football Insider, Spurs boss Nuno Espirito Santo has told the club's hierarchy that he would like Tanganga to stay and be a key member of the first-team squad.

The defender was handed a start at right-back in Tottenham's 1-0 victory against Premier League champions Manchester City on the opening weekend of the new season, and he responded with a man-of-the-match display.

Tanganga, who can also play at centre-back, is set to compete with Matt Doherty and Serge Aurier for a place in the starting lineup.

The England Under-21 international has made 25 senior appearances for Spurs since debuting in September 2019.
