Spurs Transfers: 5 Players To Replace Assou-Ekotto

2. Samuel Umtiti

Spurs fans will undoubtedly remember Samuel Umtiti from when the Lilywhites faced his club, Olympique Lyonnais, in the 2012-2013 Europa League knockout stages. The 19 year old French U20 international scored an absolute rocket in the first leg at White Hart Lane from the edge of the box with his left foot as Spurs narrowly defeated Lyon 2-1. The youngster is strongly tipped to become a full member of the senior French national team and can also play at centre back when called upon to do so. He has aroused Spurs' interest but is also reportedly being closely monitored by another Premier League side - Newcastle United - and Italian giants AC Milan, who are strongly tipped to sign him. If Spurs were to sign the defender, they would have a solid squad member for years to come whose potential to blossom in to a world class player is indisputable.
