Tottenham defender Ben Davies targeted by French club

Tottenham’s longest-serving player, Ben Davies, is on the wishlist of a Ligue 1 side, according to a report in L’Equipe.

Davies has had injury issues this season and has only managed a total of 55 minutes of football under Thomas Frank.

The Wales international is now being targeted by Nice, who have an injury crisis at the back, and have identified the Spurs man as a potential option.

However, it is explained that a deal for the 32-year-old would not be easy for Nice to pull off due to his high salary and the fact that the left-back is looking for a long-term deal.
