Tottenham given green light to sign Manchester City rising star this summer
Fresh reports now suggest that Manchester City are open to selling James McAtee, a midfielder, who Tottenham Hotspur enquired about on winter deadline day.
During the winter window, Tottenham Hotspur made a late move for Manchester City’s James McAtee.
However, nothing came from their winter efforts, as Pep Guardiola’s men were not willing to part ways with the young England international.
It was reported that City wanted him to remain at the Etihad, as they feared a potential repeat of the Cole Palmer situation, where an academy graduate goes on to succeed elsewhere.

Now, according to fresh reports from GIVEMESPORT, Spurs are still showing interest in James McAtee ahead of the summer window.
It is being reported that Tottenham could succeed in luring the Manchester City midfielder to N17 during the summer transfer window, as he is on course to be put on the market by the Manchester club.
Manchester City are said to be open to offers, with the midfielder’s contract having 12 months left on it, and the former Premier League champions are willing to listen to offers for McAtee instead of letting his contract run down.
Spurs set to face stiff competition for James McAtee
Tottenham Hotspur would need extra creativity in midfield and James McAtee looks like a player who could bring just that.
The talented midfielder has often been compared to Manchester City legend David Silva. Although he has had limited game time, the 22-year-old has still managed to score three goals from four starts this season.
It has also been stated that a host of clubs are interested in signing James McAtee, with the Lilywhites expected to face competition from the likes of Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Everton, Brighton & Hove Albion, Crystal Palace and Newcastle United, who are all monitoring his situation.
Bayer Leverkusen are also in the mix, and according to GIVEMESPORT, the Bundesliga outfit sees McAtee as a player who could succeed Florian Wirtz should he depart.
