Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez.
The 22-year-old helped the Dutch outfit win the league title last season and he has been in splendid form this season as well. The Mexican international has 24 goals and six assists to his name in all competitions and he could prove to be a quality acquisition for the North London club.
According to a report from Corriere Dello Sport via SportWitness, Tottenham are not the only big club keen on him. Italian giants AC Milan are hoping to sign the striker as well. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham follow up on their interest with an offer to sign the striker in the summer.
Tottenham need Santiago Gimenez
They needed to replace Harry Kane at the start of the season, but they decided against it. Tottenham have missed a reliable goalscorer this season and they must look to invest in a quality finisher in the summer. Gimenez could prove to be a solid acquisition.
The 22-year-old is likely to improve further with coaching and experience, and he has attributes to develop into a top class Premier League striker. The player’s agent is looking to initiate an auction for his client in May and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Tottenham certainly have more financial resources compared to AC Milan and one would expect them to get the deal done if the asking price is reasonable. They will need to improve the other areas of their squad as well, and they cannot afford to pay over the odds.
Gimenez has proven himself in Dutch football and he will be looking to take the next step in his career. A move to the Premier League will be an exciting opportunity for him, and he will be tempted to join a big club like Tottenham.
