Tottenham Hotspur, who last made a signing in January 2018, have shown interest in Marseille and Japan international full-back Hiroki Sakai, according to Sky Sports.

Manager Mauricio Pochettino is looking for reinforcement in the full-back position, and plans to offload Kieran Trippier and Serge Aurier to secure the necessary funding.

However, 29-year-old Sakai’s age might work against him as Pochettino is targeting young players under the age of 23 for his summer transfers. That being said, in the event that Tottenham cannot find the right player, the Japan international will become a realistic choice.
