Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez’s agent has confirmed Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in his client.
The Mexican international has scored 35 goals and assisted 5 in 54 appearances for the Dutch club since joining the club last summer.
In his debut season for Feyenoord, he scored 15 goals and assisted 3. This season he already has 12 goals and 2 assists in 8 games.
His incredible form has attracted interest from a number of clubs including the likes of Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea.
Now his agent has confirmed the interest from Spurs and also mentioned several other clubs that are keen on signing his client.
He told Dutch outlet Ed (via The Hard Tackle):
“Santi is one of the top ten (most coveted) players in Europe.”
“So even Tottenham Hotspur (are interested). Many clubs (want him). Milan, Inter, Napoli and Lazio. Atletico were very interested.”
Tottenham are top of the Premier League right now after an excellent start to the campaign. They are unbeaten in the league with 6 wins and 2 draws.
However, they are still without a proper number 9 after selling Harry Kane to Bayern Munich right before the start to the season.
Richarlison has been struggling ever since joining Spurs last season and still have not been able to return to his best form.
A move for the 22-year-old Mexican would certainly show a statement of intent from Spurs who if they are successful in signing him will have beaten several top clubs to his signature.
