Breaking News:Tottenham Club president confirms defender bid, Spurs have watched his last four games

In light of Tottenham’s interest, Le Havre president Jean-Michel Roussier has acknowledged to Football Insider that a number of Premier League teams are pursuing deals for Arouna Sangante in January.

According to Roussier, the Ligue 1 team has already turned down offers for the highly regarded center defender from a club he did not name.

Sangante, 21, has drawn a lot of attention from teams throughout Europe as a result of his outstanding play for Le Havre throughout the last 18 months.

It’s known that Tottenham has increased their interest in Sangante and is eager to sign him.

Prior to the January reopening of the transfer market, Spurs have seen his last four home games.

Le Harve has already declined one offer from an unidentified team and is aware of the increasing interest in Sangante.

But when the window opens next month, they are prepared for more proposals for the player.

Sangante is the youngest captain in the top division and has participated in every minute of all but three Ligue 1 games this year.

He had a key role in Le Harve’s promotion from the previous season and their current position in the league standings, which is 11th.

After completing his studies at the prestigious Le Havre academy, he has continued to grow and succeed since making his debut in the first squad in the summer of 2021.

As Roussier exclusively told Football Insider, “It is true that we have had some interest in Sangante, mainly from English Premier League clubs.”

“I think that up to seven English clubs have come to watch Sangante both at home games and here in Le Havre.

“A club made us an offer, but it wasn’t the right fit for us.

“Ideally, we can have Sangante back on loan until June so he can finish the season with Le Havre if we receive a good offer in January that works for everyone.”
