Conte can land the new Dembele as THFC eye £46k-p/w talent who's "going to be a great" - opinion

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in a deal to bring Boubacar Kamara to the Premier League in the summer transfer window.

That’s according to a report from Spain (via Sport Witness), which claims that the Olympique de Marseille defensive midfielder is a player who both Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici are keen on, particularly as the 22-year-old looks set to become available on a free transfer upon the expiry of his current contract at the Orange Velodrome this summer.

The report goes on to state that the former France U21 international is one of several targets Paratici is hoping to bring to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the off-season, with Spurs said to have a “sporting project and the economic solvency” to attract the midfielder to north London – despite the interest of Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Bayern Munich.

While it is true that, following the £21.5m signing of Rodrigo Bentancur in January, Conte boasts a decent number of options in the middle of the park – as, alongside the Uruguay international, the 52-year-old can also call upon Oliver Skipp, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Harry Winks – it is nevertheless clear to see why the Italian would be interested in a move for Kamara this summer.

Indeed, the 22-year-old has highly impressed over his 28 Ligue 1 appearances this season, with the £22.5m-rated defensive midfielder having made an average of 1.3 interceptions, two tackles, 1.2 clearances and won 4.6 duels – at a success rate of 54% – per game.

The £46k-per-week Frenchman is also extremely comfortable with the ball at his feet, enjoying an average of 80.5 touches per fixture, in addition to completing 61.1 passes, 3.1 longs balls, 0.5 dribbles, 0.8 key passes and 3.6 chipped through balls per outing.
