“Already” – Journalist shares Tottenham update on Spurs move for £17m star
He’s on fire right now, and rumors claim that Tottenham Hotspur “already” has their sights set on a very in-form player who might only cost £17 million.
Spurs transfer targets: Tapsoba, Toney, Kelly
Johan Lange, a new technical director who will start on November 1, will take over for the departing Fabio Paratici, who served as transfer head. The majority of the summer work had to be completed by chairman Daniel Levy and Spurs staff members before Chief Football Officer Scott Munn’s recent arrival because the Italian resigned after receiving a global 30-month suspension from football activities.
Prior to the deadline on September 1, Levy and company attempted to sign goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, center-back Ashley Phillips, defender Micky van de Ven, England star James Maddison, winger Manor Solomon, young striker Alejo Veliz, and ex-Nottingham Forest forward Brennan Johnson. According to reports, Spurs have also been busy making plans for their upcoming January moves. Ange Postecoglou would have serious difficulties if van de Ven or Cristian Romero were to be hurt this winter, hence it is said that a second center-back will be added to the squad.
In the past month, transfer rumors have focused on several players, including the Galatasaray defender Victor Nelsson, the Juventus star Gleison Bremer, the Bournemouth defender Lloyd Kelly, and the Bayer Leverkusen player Edmond Tapsoba. Additionally, players like Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher and Kalvin Phillips could be brought in to strengthen the midfield. Tottenham is supposedly also interested in strikers Ivan Toney of Brentford and Serhou Guirassy of Stuttgart as the club considers Harry Kane successors.
Tottenham transfer news – Serhou Guirassy
Because of the Guinean international’s current success in the Bundesliga, the latter striker is a particularly appealing possible acquisition. With only seven league appearances under his belt, Guirassy already has an incredible total of 13 goals for Stuttgart. The 27-year-old is an extremely desirable option for Postecoglou’s flexible Spurs style because he can play center-forward and attacking midfield. Additionally, according to rumors, Guirassy’s contract has a tempting £17 million release clause, making him a very affordable option.
Consequently, the African star is currently one of Europe’s most sought-after commodities given that England is also said to be interested in both Fulham and West Ham. Dean Jones of the Ranks FC podcast revealed what he knows about Spurs’ “already” close monitoring of Guirassy.
“To suddenly start doing this is incredible,” said Jones. “He started the season with eight goals from eight shots on target in four games. He’s continues to score goals. He’s just unbelievable. 13 goals so far for Stuttgart, he is brilliant mate. It’s early days for him being a Stuttgart player, but teams are already keeping an eye on this situation.
“Tottenham are one of the teams already keeping an eye on his development, West Ham also have an eye on him. He is absolutely brilliant.”
It would be fascinating to see if he moves to Spurs in the coming season after only recently making a permanent move from Rennes to Stuttgart in May.
