Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing Simon Adingra from Brighton and Hove Albion.
According to a report from HITC, Tottenham have made an enquiry for the 22-year-old Premier League attacker and they will face competition from Arsenal for his services.
The North clubs are keen on signing the Ivory Coast winger and it remains to be seen whether Brighton are prepared to consider a move for him.
Adingra had an impressive season with Brighton last season and he contributed toward seven goals and three assists in all competitions. It is no secret that Tottenham need to bring in attacking options this summer and signing a quality winger could prove to be a wise decision.
However, the North London have already signed Wilson Odobert from Burnley and it remains to be seen whether they are prepared to splash out on another winger.
Adingra will certainly be tempted to join a big club this summer and the opportunity to play for Tottenham or Arsenal will be quite attractive.
Arsenal need to add more quality and depth to their attacking unit as well. They have not been able to rotate players like Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka last season. They need more options so that they can shuffle their pack.
Spurs will be competing in the UEFA Europa league next season and they need a deeper squad in order to rotate their key players from time to time. It will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with an official proposal to sign Adingra in the remaining days of the window.

Leicester City have reached an agreement with Tottenham to sign Oliver Skipp, according to reports. The 23-year-old is set to undergo a medical on Sunday before completing a permanent move to the King Power Stadium.
The Foxes are expected to pay in excess of £20million for the midfielder, according to The Athletic. The deal is viewed as a good deal all round by the parties involved in the transfer.
Skipp struggled for game time under Ange Postecoglou last season. He made 24 appearances in all competitions but was predominantly used as a substitute. In fact, Skipp started just seven Premier League matches.
The Tottenham academy graduate has three years left to run on his contract and is now set to leave the club. It has been reported that Skipp has said goodbye to his teammates ahead of his move to Leicester.
Since making his first-team debut in 2018, Skipp has made 106 appearances for the club. Skipp spent the 2020/21 season on loan at Norwich and played 47 times for the Championship side.
Spurs travel to Leicester in their Premier League curtain-raiser on Monday, but Skipp won’t be able to feature even if his move to the Foxes goes through before kick-off. This is because the registration deadline for this weekend’s matches was at 12pm on Friday.
