Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly considering a move for Feyenoord and Mexico forward Santiago Gimenez, as they look to replace Harry Kane with an out-and-out striker this summer.
Tottenham Eye Santiago Gimenez In Striker Hunt
Feyenoord and Mexico forward Santiago Gimenez has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur, who are said to be on the hunt for a new striker this summer.
Spurs have failed to truly replace Harry Kane since his departure for Bayern Munich last summer, with Richarlison, Heung-min Son, Timo Werner and Alejo Veliz leading the line for Ange Postecoglou’s side at different stages of the campaign.
Werner, Veliz, Brennan Johnson and Manor Solomon have all joined as attacking players since Kane’s exit, however none of them have been able to replicate the England international’s output in front of goal.
This has reportedly left the club wanting a new out-and-out striker, with Feyenoord’s Gimenez being touted as an ideal candidate for that role.
The Mexican has been in excellent form for the Eredivisie side this term, with 24 goals and five assists in 35 appearances across all competitions, while Tottenham are already said to be in contact with his current employers in regards to a potential transfer this summer.
At just 22-year-old, Gimenez would fit the bill in terms of Spurs’ approach to transfers under Postecoglou. The club have been targeting younger, yet established talents in the transfer market, which is a category that Gimenez would undoutbedly fall under.
CaughtOffside claim that talks between the parties are intensifying, and although Tottenham have alternative options on their shortlist of transfer targets, they are confident of landing the 25-time Mexico international, especially if they are able to secure Champions League qualification.
