Spurs challenge Arsenal for £11 million African

The 24-year old midfielder has been linked with a move to the Premier League for several weeks. Makoun has been at Lille for over seven years now making over 150 appearances in that times.

Makoun is currently valued at around the £11 million mark and it is believed that both Junade Ramos and Arsene Wenger are willing to match that valuation.

Makoun has over a dozen caps for Cameroon failing to score in the process. I have heard and seen many good things about Makoun and I personally would love to see him move to England.
