Tottenham<\/a> Hotspur and Everton<\/a> are reportedly \u2018showing an interest\u2019 in signing LOSC Lille midfielder Ngal\u2019ayel Mukau, as per TEAMtalk<\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Since moving to Stade Pierre Mauroy from Belgian side KV Mechelen a couple of years ago, the 21-year-old has been featuring as a rotational option.<\/p>\n This season, the youngster has scored twice in 28 starts across all competitions and has helped his side qualify for next season\u2019s Champions League<\/a> by finishing in Ligue 1\u2019s top three.<\/p>\n After showing glimpses of his qualities in France, Mukau has secured his place in the DR Congo national team and is likely to play a key role for his country in this summer\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n Now, TEAMtalk<\/em> claim that after actively monitoring his development, Tottenham and Everton are \u2018showing an interest\u2019 in purchasing him in this summer window.<\/p>\n However, finalising the operation won\u2019t be straightforward for the North London club or the Merseyside club, as Brentford, Brighton and Hove Albion, and Aston Villa<\/a> have also been keeping a close eye on him.<\/p>\n Mukau\u2019s existing deal is set to run until 2028, and Lille have no intention of letting him leave, with the player valued at around \u00a310m by Transfermarkt<\/span><\/a>. So, Tottenham and Everton will have to launch a lucrative proposal to persuade Les Dogues to cash-in.<\/p>\n After helping Tottenham survive relegation on the final day, Roberto De Zerbi is keen on revamping the squad to turn the situation around next campaign.<\/p>\n The Lilywhites are close to reinforcing the backline by signing Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi for free. Moreover, it appears they are also interested in bolstering the engine room.<\/p>\n On the other hand, Everton are seemingly planning to bolster the midfield department as Idrissa Gana Gueye has reached the twilight of his career.<\/p>\n Mukau is a 6ft 2in tall left-footed dynamic midfielder. He is comfortable in the CDM and box-to-box roles. The Lille star is a talented player and possesses high potential.<\/p>\n He even has the necessary physical attributes to flourish in the Premier League<\/a>. So, Mukau might be a shrewd acquisition for Tottenham or Everton should either club purchase him.<\/p>\n However, it is going to be interesting to see whether David Moyes\u2019 side or De Zerbi\u2019s side eventually make a concrete approach to secure his service.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t![\"Rememore](\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FootballTalk_New_Chapter-rememore.png\")
