Tottenham Hotspur have been preparing for this transfer window with a clear goal of strengthening their attacking options.
The Lilywhites have been linked with several centre-forwards in recent months.
According to GiveMeSport, Feyenoord’s prolific striker, Santiago Gimenez, has emerged as the top candidate for Spurs’ striker signing.
However, Tottenham face competition for the Mexico international from their North London rivals, Arsenal, who are also monitoring his progress.
Gimenez, currently valued at €40 million, has enjoyed an impressive campaign in the Dutch top flight.
Since joining Feyenoord from Cruz Azul for €6 million in 2022, the 23-year-old forward has excelled.
Last season, he was the second-highest goalscorer in the Eredivisie, scoring 23 goals and providing 6 assists in 30 league appearances.
Since joining the club, he has scored 49 and assisted 11 in 86 appearances. (Transfermarkt)
Gimenez’s consistent performances have made him an attractive target for Tottenham, who are in desperate need of a reliable striker.
Recent reports stated that the 23-year-old is ready to say ‘yes’ to an approach from Postecoglou.
His contract with Feyenoord runs until June 2027, but the Dutch champions may be open to letting him go if their valuation is met.
His goal-scoring prowess and desire to join Spurs make him a prime target for the club.
With Richarlison struggling with injuries and inconsistent performances, signing a new striker is crucial for the Lilywhites’ ambitions next season.
Manager Ange Postecoglou aims to compete for the Premier League title, and adding a lethal striker like Gimenez could provide the necessary firepower.
As the transfer window progresses, Spurs fans are hopeful of securing a forward like Gimenez to lead their attack next season.
