Tottenham Hotspur 'lining up cut-price Maxime Lopez move'

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly hopeful of signing Marseille attacker Maxime Lopez in a €10m (£8.9m) deal during this summer's transfer window.

The 22-year-old has made 27 appearances for his French club during the 2019-20 campaign, including 23 outings in Ligue 1, where he has provided three assists.

Lopez's current deal is due to expire at the end of next season, though, and there has been a host of speculation surrounding his future over the last couple of months.

According to Estadio Deportivo, Spurs boss Jose Mourinho is 'pushing' to sign the attacker this summer, and Marseille's financial problems mean that he could be available for as little as €10m (£8.9m).

Sevilla, Aston Villa and West Ham United have also recently been credited with an interest.

The former France Under-21 international has been with Les Phoceens since 2010, progressing through the youth system at the club before debuting in August 2016.
