L'Equipe: Tottenham facing familiar problem after approach for €30m Rennes star

Tottenham have opened talks with representatives of Rennes striker Mbaye Niang, according to L'Equipe. Spurs have made contact with the player's representatives. Niang is under contract until 2023 with Rennes, but has a €30m exit clause in his contract. Marseille are also interested in the Senegal international. The player has been looking for a place to buy in Marseille, where his wife is from, although Rennes insist there has been no offer. Rennes president Nicolas Holveck told RTL on Saturday: “We have not received a single offer, there is no contact.” Just where Spurs’ interest fits in is unclear, but the source claim “the playing time offered by Spurs is very minimal”.
