Monaco defender Aymen Abdennour has told Le Parisien he would consider a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
Abdennour, 25, produced a valiant display in Monaco's 3-1 Champions League win over Arsenal on Wednesday, with French TV commentators claiming he was being watched by a scout from Spurs.
Abdennour said: "Yes, I am aware of it [the interest], but I am at Monaco and I am concentrating on my club."
Asked if he would consider a move to Spurs, he replied: "Why not? Right now I have to be patient.
"Things will happen naturally. I am not going to put any pressure on myself because I am very happy at Monaco."

The Daily Mirror reports that the Premier League side are ready to pay five million pounds for Abdennour, who has been limited to just 10 Ligue 1 games this season due to a combination of injury, competition for places and his participation in the African Nations Cup with Tunisia.
Abdennour initially joined Monaco on loan from Toulouse in the closing hours of the January 2014 transfer window, making the switch permanent by signing a four-year contract last summer.
