He could step in to replace a prominent figure.
A £34 million star is now among the favourites to join Tottenham, as the club and manager Ange Postecoglou look for a “elite” acquisition in one important position.
Spurs support Postecoglou’s transfer wishes.
So far, the club’s recruitment team and Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy have moved to support Postecoglou with crucial roster enhancements.
The signing of defender Radu Dragusin from Genoa for £25 million is undoubtedly the most important coup given their prior lack of depth behind Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero.
Postecoglou was forced to use a makeshift central defensive pairing of Emerson Royal and Ben Davies in the absence of both players earlier this month, so Dragusin‘s arrival would be greatly appreciated by the Tottenham boss.
This comes after Postecoglou publicly indicated the desire for Spurs to make fresh signings, and early in the window, with Levy and co giving his wish.
“The January window, like for every club, is important,” Postecoglou stated last month.
“The January window, like for every club, is important,” Postecoglou stated last month.
“My view on the January one is that if you can get your business done early in the window it certainly is more helpful because you leave it until the end of January and sometimes what you train to gain you’ve missed that opportunity by waiting a whole month.”
Spurs are also in talks with Club Brugge to sign Antonio Nusa, while reports have refused to rule out the prospect of Tottenham acquiring Conor Gallagher before February 1, no matter how impossible it may be.
While it is not expected to be high on the agenda this month, there is still the minor issue of replacing club record goalscorer Harry Kane. The England international left for Bayern Munich last summer, and Tottenham are reportedly looking at new strikers for 2024 as a result.
Santiago Gimenez “among the favourites” to join Tottenham
In an update on their ties to Feyenoord star Santiago Gimenez, Mexican news source Medio Tiempo claims Spurs are still in serious contention for the 22-year-old. Gimenez is thought to be “among the favourites” to join Tottenham and replace Kane, with the Lilywhites showing a strong interest with Chelsea and West Ham.
The north Londoners appear to be considering their future attacking options, with a “elite forward” among their top transfer goals. Gimenez, who is reported to be worth roughly £34 million, has scored an incredible 19 goals in 18 Eredivisie starts this season.
Dirk Kuyt, a former Liverpool player, has also given him high acclaim, calling him the division’s top marksman right now.
“He’s back here in the middle of the defenders, and he’s really fast,” Kuyt said about one of the striker’s efforts. “I’m watching the keeper before he shoots, the rest. In my opinion, he is now the Eredivisie’s top striker.”
