Tottenham are reportedly preparing a move for Ousmane Diabate as they look to strengthen their midfield before the transfer window closes.
According to a report carried by Yahoo Sports on July 15, Spurs are expected to make a bid for the 18-year-old midfielder before the deadline. The potential offer forms part of the club’s attempt to reinforce the centre of the pitch, with Diabate emerging as a target during the current window.
No fee has been indicated in the report, and it remains unclear at this stage how quickly Tottenham could move from interest to a formal proposal. However, the expectation that a bid will arrive before the window shuts suggests the club are ready to test the situation rather than simply monitor the player from a distance.
Diabate’s age makes him a long-term option, but Tottenham’s reported interest also points to a desire to add further midfield depth now. With the market still open, Spurs have time to advance discussions if they decide to prioritise the deal.
For Tottenham, the next step will be the submission of an offer and the response that follows. Until then, the move remains at the reported-interest stage, although the claim that a bid is planned gives the story added significance as the window moves toward its conclusion.
Diabate will now be one to watch in connection with Spurs, particularly if their midfield recruitment plans gather pace over the coming weeks.
