SHOCKING NEWS;Nottingham Forest defender has finally agreed contract terms with new club

Tottenham are said to be interested in a defender who has been described as a ‘role model’.

Tottenham are said to be interested in a player they could yet face on Monday night. Spurs are gearing up for a Premier League date with Champions League hopefuls Nottingham Forest, who have seen results go against them over the weekend.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s men are now outside of the top five having been in control of third spot for much of the season, but they are only goal difference behind Chelsea in fifth, while a win here will take them back into third place.

Spurs have very little to play for, but having booked their place in the Europa League semi-finals, still having a route to the Champions League, Ange Postecoglou will want to see his men keep up momentum, and not only that, but currently in 16th place, the North London side will be desperate to improve upon that position before all is said and done.

“And you know, we need to have the same levels of concentration and focus that we did on Thursday night, because there’s no doubt Forest are tough opposition. They’re having a great season. They’ve got huge motivation to win on Monday night. And yeah, for us, as much as we understand that the league has been very, very disappointing, and Europa offers us a magnificent opportunity to achieve something special, I still think the best preparation for that is us to play well in the two games preceding it.”

Spurs linked with Forest man

Ahead of the game, Tottenham have been linked with a move for Forest full-back Ola Aina, who is actually a doubt for Monday night’s game.
