Tottenham battle Man City and Aston Villa for £30m PSG winger who scored at the World Cup

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly set their sights on a Paris Saint-Germain teenage sensation – but they’ll have to fend off fierce interest from Premier League rivals and European heavyweights to land their man.

Spurs are actively scouring the market for wide attacking reinforcements, with new boss Roberto De Zerbi believed to be prioritising the addition of multiple wingers ahead of the upcoming campaign.

While established names like Rafael Leão and Savinho continue to be linked with a move to North London, the Lilywhites are also casting their net over a promising 18-year-old who already has a World Cup goal to his name.

Tottenham face Man City and Aston Villa in race for PSG’s Ibrahim Mbaye

Reports first emerged last week that Spurs had registered an interest in Ibrahim Mbaye, the Senegalese winger who found first-team opportunities hard to come by at PSG last season. Now, it appears the teenager’s growing reputation has alerted several other top clubs across the continent.

According to transfer insider Santi Aouna, Tottenham and Aston Villa are both closely monitoring Mbaye’s situation – and the chase has become even more complicated with the news that Manchester City have now added the 18-year-old to their summer shortlist.

Mbaye eager to depart Paris this summer

The same update reveals that Bundesliga duo RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund are also keeping tabs on the talented wideman. PSG are understood to value Mbaye at around €35 million (£30 million), and the player is reportedly keen to move on in search of regular game time – a request the Ligue 1 champions are willing to accommodate.

Aouna shared on X: “Manchester City has added Ibrahim Mbaye to its list of players being tracked for this summer transfer window. Several major European clubs, including Tottenham, Aston Villa, Leipzig, and Dortmund, are also closely following the 18-year-old winger. Ibrahim Mbaye wants to leave PSG this summer, while the Parisian club is also open to a transfer.”

With interest intensifying and the window still open, Spurs will need to act swiftly if they hope to win the race for one of Europe’s most exciting young attacking prospects.
