Tottenham's New Target: Enzo Millot
Tottenham Hotspur has been making waves in the transfer market, with a series of notable signings in July. The club secured the services of Kota Takai from Kawasaki Frontale and Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United. Additionally, they completed the acquisition of Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich. There is also speculation that the Lilywhites are close to finalizing a loan deal for Joao Palhinha from Bayern Munich, with an option to make the move permanent for €30 million.
Despite these developments, Tottenham faced some setbacks. They had nearly signed Morgan Gibbs-White, but Nottingham Forest intervened, blocking the transfer. This move highlighted Thomas Frank’s desire to strengthen his squad by adding a creative player, even with existing talents like James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski already on the team.
In response to the failed Gibbs-White deal, the club has been actively searching for an alternative to meet the manager's needs. It appears they have turned their attention to a Bundesliga star.
A New Contender in the Spotlight
According to reports from Spanish outlet Estadio Deportivo, Tottenham has entered the race to sign VfB Stuttgart midfielder Enzo Millot. They are now competing with Atletico Madrid for the player’s signature.
Enzo Millot, who has a €20 million release clause in his contract set to expire in 2028, has attracted interest from multiple clubs. Atletico Madrid, however, is not looking to pay the full amount upfront. Instead, they are negotiating to spread the payment over several instalments, which has opened up an opportunity for Tottenham.
The report suggests that Tottenham has "entered the bidding" and is showing "serious interest" in securing the French midfielder.
Why Enzo Millot Could Be the Right Fit
Enzo Millot delivered a strong performance during the 2024/25 season with Stuttgart, scoring 12 goals and providing eight assists in 43 appearances. His versatility allows him to play in various positions across midfield and attack, making him a valuable addition to any team.
At just 23 years old, Millot still has room to grow and develop under the guidance of experienced coaches. His potential to become a key player for Tottenham makes him an attractive target.
One advantage that Tottenham has over Atletico is their financial flexibility. The club demonstrated this when they quickly activated Morgan Gibbs-White’s £60m release clause, even though the deal ultimately did not go through. This suggests that they could easily trigger Millot’s €20 million release clause and secure his signature before Atletico can act.
A Strong Alternative to Gibbs-White
With his combination of versatility, flair, creativity, and goal-scoring ability, Enzo Millot could be viewed as a strong alternative to Morgan Gibbs-White. His presence would add depth to Tottenham’s midfield and provide the manager with more options in attack.
As the transfer window continues, all eyes will be on whether Tottenham can successfully navigate the competition for Millot’s signature and bring him to White Hart Lane.
