According to BILD, there are concerns that Serhou Guirassy, a striker who is reportedly being pursued by Tottenham, will leaving Stuttgart in January based on his behaviour this week.

Since Son Heung-min is probably going to miss a whole month of football in the New Year owing to the Asian Cup, Tottenham may need to make an acquisition to bolster their attack. The Lilywhites have struggled to convert chances thus far this season.

Guirassy is one of the centre strikers that Spurs have been linked to; two months ago, TEAMtalk said that the Lilywhites might compete with West Ham and Newcastle for the player in January.

The Guinean forward, whose contract is believed to include a release clause of €17.5 million (£15 million), is being watched by Spurs, according to journalist Dean Jones, who made this revelation on the Ranks FC podcast the previous few weeks.

Guirassy hints at a farewell amid Tottenham links

With the news that Guirassy has dropped a significant clue regarding his future, Bild’s most recent update may help Tottenham’s prospects of acquiring the striker.

The 27-year-old scored the first goal for his team in the 54th minute of Stuttgart’s 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the DFB-Pokal semifinal on Thursday. He is reported to have spoken to the supporters in the MHP Arena with “very personal words” following the match.

 

The report claims that after the final whistle, Guirassy shouted to the Stuttgart supporters, “thank you for everything,” which “almost sounded like farewell words.”

Because of Guirassy’s attractive release clause and low cost, I have no doubt that a number of European clubs would have gotten in touch with his representative to discuss a January transfer.

To be sure, Spurs are not among the teams in the lead in the competition to sign the center-forward, at least not with any solid evidence.
