A week ago, Red Bull Salzburg striker Patson Daka was linked by Dan King for The Sun with interest from Manchester United. Now, by the Power of Grayskull… Alasdair Gold for Football London tells us it’s Tottenham’s turn to take interest in the Zambian striker.
At a rumoured £20million, this is a striker that ‘suddenly’ became very prolific last season, yet looks like an incredible talent. In fact, I’m struggling to see why he would move while transfer values are at a low, given he’s only 21.

For what it may or not be worth, my source close to the club doesn’t believe that this a player Spurs have considered at all. Gossip is very movable feast, so who knows.
Very Tasty looking player. Its a yes from me.
Mason Greenwood they got mate. He’s special. Expecting him to fully break through this season. He’ll be great for England too in the future. Either linking up with Kane, or replacing him when he’s done and dusted.
I don’t normally take much notice of non Spurs players but I still have flashbacks on the way Mane ripped us a new one first game at WHL for Bindip FC.
Also Zambia is one of my favourite African countries.
So its a big YES from me although I think we might get the Metz boy instead.
Hope he never follows Carrick,Sherringham & Berbatov,in a mega money move.
What United need is Harry Kane – or A N Other old fashioned cf.
Maybe Noel Edmonds to wave the gavel the auction?
Freddie Kanoute is the man who discovered him and brought him to Europe,he is on relatively low wages,and can play anywhere across the front three.He scored 24 goals & 8 assists last season in the league plus scored in the EL & CL. He banged in 4 last night in a cup game against some minnows winning 10.0.ManUtd are still interested in signing Sancho I can’t see them needing another striker.Some great players coming out of Red bull Salzburg with Haaland,Mane and lately Minamino.Liverpool know all about Daka he scored two against them in pre season.He could definitely put pressure on Moura on the right to be a starter and we could sell Lamela.
Why would he move in a subdued market? You may see players get some very favorable contracts led by reduced transfer fee’s. Plus, if you run the risk of being a 1 season wonder, or in a team you feel wont perform to your ability next season, sometimes its worth moving. At this point in time, I imagine we will be linked with every johnny kick a ball that has ever played upfront. I am waiting for the rumour that we buy Dion Dublin – I just wonder if we would have to buy him at Auction and the Amazon TV do a homes under the hammer cross over special with Levy and Jose being interviewed next to Dion talking about the improvements they can make on him over the next few weeks to flip a sale or rent him out.
