# Tottenham: French source shares big Gueye transfer update

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) have now been handed a possible transfer boost in their hunt to bring Paris-Saint Germain midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye back to the [Premier League,](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) according to reports.**

### The Lowdown: Conte eyes midfielder move…

Spurs head coach Antonio Conte reportedly has his sights on two new midfield signings this summer among many other transfer targets, according to [The Telegraph.](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/04/20/antonio-conte-targets-six-summer-signings-spurs-face-homegrown/)

The Italian apparently wishes to really strengthen in that area with links having emerged to the likes of [Christian Eriksen (Brentford) and Youri Tielemans (Leicester City).](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/harry-kane-set-to-stay-at-tottenham-as-club-consider-move-to-re-sign-christian-eriksen-8k9gqnlf0)

Tough-tackling midfield men are also on the agenda for Conte alongside more creative additions as transfer chief Fabio Paratici is tasked with advancing.

PSG midfielder Gueye is a target for the Lilywhites with French source [Jeunesfooteux](https://www.jeunesfooteux.com/PSG-Mercato-Idrissa-Gueye-interesse-Tottenham_a54752.html) now sharing an update.

### The Latest: Jeunesfooteux share promising update…

[According to their information](https://www.jeunesfooteux.com/PSG-Mercato-Idrissa-Gueye-interesse-Tottenham_a54752.html), Tottenham are ‘attentive’ over signing the 32-year-old and, what’s more, the Ligue 1 champions have set a reasonable price.

It is believed that PSG will in fact green-light his sale for under £20 million as the north Londoners eye a move, specifically £17m (€20m).

### The Verdict: Time to move?

While his fairly seasoned age could repel a few supporters, Conte does in fact prefer his targets to come with [more experience and know-how.](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/transfer-news/tottenham-fabio-paratici-sign-levy-23909419)

As a short term fix in the middle, there are arguably few who could strengthen Tottenham as much as Gueye for under £20m.

By his own admission, the Senegal international star is a[‘perfectionist’](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/sep/23/everton-idrissa-gueye-i-am-a-perfectionist) in what he does, with former Spurs boss Tim Sherwood having raved over his abilities while the pair were at Aston Villa.

Sherwood branded Gueye a [‘monster’](https://talksport.com/football/329685/he-plays-monster-pitch-tim-sherwood-hails-new-aston-villa-fan-favourite-idrissa-gueye/) when they worked together at Villa Park and this tag is still relevant now, having made the joint-second most tackles per 90 for PSG on average over his Ligue 1 appearances this season ([WhoScored).](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/304/Show/France-Paris-Saint-Germain)

Indeed, the[£115,000-per-week](https://www.givemesport.com/1705256-neymar-mbappe-wijnaldum-how-much-money-do-psg-players-earn-perweek) former Everton star may well be one Spurs must consider.
