Tottenham set to battle Premier League duo for Stuttgart star El Khannouss

He impressed for his club prior to the global showpiece, scoring nine goals while providing nine assists to help Stuttgart finish fourth and qualify for the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League.
North London giants Spurs have reportedly already made contact with the player's representatives and are willing to bid around €30million plus add-ons for the Moroccan.
However, Newcastle United and Crystal Palace are also said to be interested in acquiring the services of El Khannouss ahead of the new season but have yet to enter negotiations.
