Can’t name names but can confirm that he is someone the club has thought about at some stage over the past 10 years. Can’t confirm.

Although that may be what it looks like, I think part of it is due to the fact that there simply aren't that many gettable, quality, established RWBs.So according to Ali G the plan is Doherty and Spence.
Probably true given the lack of links to another other RWBs. I'm amazed that this unproven 21 year old from the Championship really seems to be the best wingback we can get in for Conte.
And again, I know Doherty had a good spell before his injury but who knows how he returns? There's no saying whether he can deliver consistent elite performances for a top of the PL/CL team.
On the bright side at least in theory if Doherty is missing we will still retain some attacking threat on the right hand side but Spence's goals/assist numbers are not impressive so it remains to be seen.
It just seems we are looking to pack out the team with real high level quality and RWB is kind of being left behind.
isco is not the same player anymore think alexis sanchez sort of dropoffI see Isco is available this summer on a free. Himself and Eriksen are both 30. Wonder if one, or both of them, would be great additions to have as a super sub and a starter for the tricky games where the other team defends deep and we need to unlock the defence
Wouldn't mind if Spurs had a closer look at Manu Kone (BMG) just turned 21. Central-midfielder in the mold of Bissouma
Kouadio Emmanuel Boris Koné - FC 25 - Apr 16, 2025 | SoFIFA
Kouadio Manu Koné (Kouadio Emmanuel Boris Koné, born 17 May 2001) is a French footballer who plays as a center midfield for Italian club Roma, on loan from Borussia Mönchengladbach, and the France national team. In the game FC 25, his overall rating is 78.sofifa.com
Three obtainable midfielders for the list:
Ibrahim Sangare (6) 24yo PSV
Kouadio Koné 21yo(6) BMG
Khéphren Thuram (8) 21yo Nice
All have a combo of physical/mobility/press resistance/football.
Sangare (6) is probably the best passer of the three, with a really good range, can use both feet too. Little bit error prone, but never hides.
Koné (6) defensive qualities good (pressing/tackling) passing more conservative than Sangare, but progresses the ball and can dribble through pressure
Thuram (more 8) not so great defensively (but does bring physicality) passing ok, but carries the ball forwards, more of a link from midfield to - and supporting - attack
Obviously Tchouameni would have been on the list, but that ship looks to have sailed to Madrid.
Edit
Bellingham would obviously be nice too, but equally unlikely.
