Benoit Assou-Ekotto is on the brink of joining filthy-rich Monaco – with Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas eyeing Real Madrid left-back Fabio Coentrao as his replacement, writesthe Sunday People.
Spurs boss AVB will allow Assou-Ekotto to leave White Hart Lane, as Sunday People Sport revealed in January, and Monaco are making a move to sign the Cameroon international, provided they can sort out a major tax row.
Villas-Boas wants to bring in his fellow Portuguese Coentrao, as long as Spurs secure a top-four finish.
If they fail to qualify for the Champions League, then Tottenham’s England Under-21 star Danny Rose will be likely to start next season as the club’s first-choice left-back, after a season-long loan at Sunderland.
Either way, Assou-Ekotto will be off in the summer and is keen to join Monaco in a lucrative deal.
Monaco are top of France’s second flight, under former Chelsea boss Claudio Ranieri, with their Russian billionaire owner Dmitri Rybolovlev ready to make a huge summer investment to challenge Paris St-Germain.
