# Tottenham Hotspur: Journalist lifts lid on exciting transfer development

**Writing on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/mohamedbouhafsi/status/1402668634405851143), RMC Sport journalist Mohamed Bouhafsi has lifted the lid on an exciting transfer development at Tottenham Hotspur.**

Spurs will need to adopt a[sell-to-buy policy](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9463591/Tottenham-sell-buy-summer-transfer-window.html) in order to fund marquee additions, with the club having suffered financially due to the pandemic.

However, that hasn’t stopped Spurs from scouring the market for possible signings – with an exciting development emerging courtesy of Bouhafsi.

### The Latest: Journalist lifts lid on exciting development…

Writing on his [social media](https://twitter.com/mohamedbouhafsi/status/1402668634405851143), the reporter has now shed light on Tottenham and Borussia Monchengladbach forward Marcus Thuram.

Indeed, he claims the Lilywhites have now entered advanced discussions with the player over a move to north London this summer.

“Marcus Thuram will leave Borussia Monchengladbach this summer,” explained Bouhafsi.

“The player is in talks with Tottenham. It is a priority of the club.

“Sources close to the English club explain that the discussions have advanced in recent days.”

### The Verdict: Quite a claim…

The window has been open for just one day and Tottenham are allegedly already making a significant move with these talks.

Thuram enjoyed a noteworthy 2020/2021 campaign with the German club, scoring 11 goals and assisting 12 others in all competitions ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marcus-thuram/profil/spieler/318528)).

The electric 23-year-old also averaged an impressive two shots on goal per match over his league outings, second only on his team to Alassane Plea [(WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/134/Show/Germany-Borussia-M-Gladbach))

Thuram did reign superior in completed dribbles, though, averaging 1.6 of them over 29 Bundesliga appearances ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/134/Show/Germany-Borussia-M-Gladbach)).

As such, news of Spurs’ advanced discussions for a player with obvious talent and plenty of years ahead of him comes as pretty exciting.
