Aymen Abdennour: 'Tottenham Hotspur want to sign me'

Monaco defender Aymen Abdennour has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are keen to sign him this summer.

Despite featuring in Monaco's team which beat Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-final first leg on Tuesday evening, the 25-year-old has started just nine Ligue 1 games for the side from the principality this season.

However, the Tunisian international is adamant that he is happy to remain with his current club, despite being linked with a £5m summer deal to join Spurs.

He told L'Equipe: "Yes, I am aware of [the interest from Tottenham]. But I am at Monaco and I am concentrating on my club.

"Things will happen naturally. I am not going to put any pressure on myself because I am very happy at Monaco."

Abdennour has scored one Champions League goal for Monaco this season.
