A whole host of attacking midfielders have been linked with a move to Spurs<\/a> over recent weeks, but those targets are now being snapped up by other clubs.<\/p>\n According to reports, Tottenham have abandoned their pursuit of Harvey Elliott<\/a>, who is in talks with RB Leipzig, while James McAtee grew tired of waiting for Spurs<\/a> and decided to sign for Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n Spurs are now in danger of missing out on another of their midfield targets, according to a new update. It has been widely reported that Leicester City\u2019s Bilal El Khannouss is on Tottenham\u2019s radar<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, The Telegraph<\/a> now claim that Newcastle are now ready to push forward with the signing of El Khannouss, who is emerging as a \u2018serious target\u2019 for the Magpies.<\/p>\n The report reveals that the Moroccan international\u2019s contract at the King Power Stadium contains a \u00a330m clause which can be activated in the event of the Foxes\u2019 relegation.<\/p>\n Eddie Howe\u2019s men may be prepared to do just that as they are now \u2018accelerating their interest\u2019 in the 21-year-old.<\/p>\n Tottenham appear to have settled on a top target<\/p>\n It cannot be a coincidence that just as Spurs cool their interest in the likes of Elliott, McAtee, and El Khannouss, heavy speculation has resurfaced linking Eberechi Eze with a move to Tottenham<\/a>.<\/p>\n According to various sources, Eze is ready to join Spurs <\/a>if they can strike a deal with Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-2229689695-1024x683.jpg\")
