Monaco defender Aymen Abdennour has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are keen to sign him this summer.

Despite featuring in Monaco's team which beat Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-final first leg on Tuesday evening, the 25-year-old has started just nine Ligue 1 games for the side from the principality this season.

However, the Tunisian international is adamant that he is happy to remain with his current club, despite being linked with a £5m summer deal to join Spurs.

He told L'Equipe: "Yes, I am aware of [the interest from Tottenham]. But I am at Monaco and I am concentrating on my club.

"Things will happen naturally. I am not going to put any pressure on myself because I am very happy at Monaco."

Abdennour has scored one Champions League goal for Monaco this season.
