In order to recruit Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez in the upcoming season, Tottenham has been informed that they would probably need to pay around £39 million.

Due to Richarlison’s ongoing goal-scoring problems, Ange Postecoglour is still searching for a new No. 9, even though Son Heung-min has performed admirably in that position since being moved.

It was anticipated that the club will acquire a new striker late in the summer transfer window to make up for the loss of Harry Kane, the club record goalscorer.

Postecoglou may, however, be looking to add another striker to the team in order to relieve some of the strain on young Alejo Veliz, an Argentine who has been sitting on the bench lately.

Though Gimenez’s name is brought up most frequently, names like Ivan Toney and Jonathan David are still being connected to a transfer to north London.

Additionally, after closely observing the Mexican since last year, Romano said in the Daily Briefing that Spurs have been really pleased with his efforts.

Tottenham hasn’t decided yet whether they want to make a formal offer for Gimenez, according to Romano, and a decision is anticipated within the next several months.

According to the transfer insider, Feyenoord is expected to demand a sum of approximately £39 million in order to sell Gimenez, which may be a great deal in the current market.

Romano said: “Something in the region of £39million could be the right fee to make it happen. From what I’m told, Tottenham [Hotspur] scouts have been following the player already last year. They saw that Gimenez is a very good striker… Decisions will be made in the next months.”

Gimenez prolific at Eredivisie level

The 22-year-old is thought to have a true talent, but there will undoubtedly be worries about how well he will adapt to the English Premier League’s higher level of competition.

In fact, Tottenham has already burned itself twice in this area, having spent £17 million on Vincent Janssen in 2016, despite the fact that he made just 31 Premier League games and scored just two goals.

Gimenez, on the other hand, is regarded as being on a different level and has only played 57 games for Feyenoord while scoring 38 goals.

The youthful attacker has scored four goals in 22 appearances for Mexico and is reportedly attracting interest from Arsenal and Fulham.

Feyenoord is in fact hoping that a number of Premier League teams make an approach in the upcoming year in an attempt to raise the player’s cost.

When Mauricio Pochettino and his Chelsea team return to north London on Monday night, Tottenham will resume their Premier League campaign.
