Wijnaldum, Draxler 'open to Spurs swap with Ndombele, Alli'

Paris Saint-Germain's Julian Draxler and Georginio Wijnaldum are reportedly open to joining Tottenham Hotspur on loan in a potential swap deal with Tanguy Ndombele and Dele Alli.

Paris Saint-Germain pair Julian Draxler and Georginio Wijnaldum would reportedly be interested in joining Tottenham Hotspur on loan in a potential double swap deal involving Tanguy Ndombele and Dele Alli.

Wijnaldum, 30, is yet to hit the heights expected at the Parc des Princes since joining from Liverpool last summer, while Draxler, 28, has struggled to cement his place in the starting lineup.

As for Ndombele and Alli, both midfielders have failed to take their chances in the first team since the appointment of Antonio Conte in November, and they are now considered surplus to requirements.

PSG are understood to have held talks with Tottenham regarding the availability of Ndombele and Alli, with former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino keen to reunite with the pair in this month's window.

A potential swap deal on loan involving Draxler, Wijnaldum, Ndombele and Alli is believed to be under consideration, and according to 90min, via the Daily Mail, the PSG pair would be open to moving to North London on temporary deals in January.

Conte is desperate to recruit new players before next Monday's 11pm deadline, with Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore and Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat two other players who have been strongly linked with a switch to Spurs.
