Aymeric Laporte will definitely leave Manchester City amidst Tottenham links
The Athletic has recently claimed that Aymeric Laporte, the highly talented centre-back from Manchester City, appears to be on the verge of leaving the club this summer.
Laporte was identified as one of three potential options on Spurs’ wishlist, alongside Manchester United’s Harry Maguire and Wolves’ Max Kilman. Clement Lenglet is also on the club’s radar.
Tottenham and Aston Villa were set to go head-to-head in a battle for the Spanish defender’s signature. This speculation has only intensified following Laporte’s reduced playing time under Pep Guardiola.
The Spaniard has found himself out of favour, making just a meager 12 appearances and clocking only 993 minutes in the Premier League during the 2022-23 season, according to Transfermarkt.
The talented defender is said to be seeking a fresh start and a change of scenery after spending five-and-a-half seasons with the Manchester club. He once was one of the first names on the team sheet but things have changed.
Aymeric Laporte‘s potential arrival at Tottenham could have a significant impact on their defensive solidity. The Frenchman is renowned for his composure, aerial prowess, and exceptional ball-playing abilities.
His addition would undoubtedly bolster Tottenham’s backline, adding much-needed depth and quality. Moreover, Laporte’s experience at the highest level would bring valuable leadership to the squad.
Having won multiple domestic titles with Manchester City, including three Premier League trophies, he possesses the winning mentality that could inspire his new teammates to reach new heights.
