Kobbie Mainoo has been linked with a move away from Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur are one of the clubs interested in him.
The 20-year-old midfielder needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and Manchester United will not be able to provide him with that platform. He has fallen out of favour at Old Trafford.
Multiple clubs keen on Kobbie Mainoo
According to TEAMtalk, Bayern Munich and Napoli are interested in signing him. However, his preference would be to continue in the Premier League. Tottenham are interested in the player, and the development will come as a huge boost for them.
Mainoo has been regarded as a “special” talent, and Spurs would do well to secure his signature. He could be a long-term asset for them. He will add control, creativity, and composure to the side. They need someone like him who can control the tempo of the game.
Spurs enquired about Mainoo in the summer.

The player is already well adapted to English football, and he could make an immediate impact at the London club. It will be interesting to see if Spurs can agree on a deal with Manchester United. Even if they have to pay a premium for him now, the deal could be worth it in the long term. Mainoo has all the attributes to develop into a top-class, Premier League midfielder.
The player is reportedly valued at £80 million. It seems unlikely that any club would be willing to pay that kind of money for the young midfielder. Despite his talent, he is still largely proven. Tottenham will hope to sign him for a more reasonable amount of money.
They should look to move quickly in order to beat the intense competition from multiple clubs.
