Tottenham Hotspur will be attempting to add another forward this summer to lessen the load on the shoulders of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. Over the past few weeks, there have been several names connected to the north London club.
One player linked to a possible move to Spurs is Real Madrid right-winger Marco Asensio. The 26-year-old has made only two league starts since February as Rodrygo is in an impressive run with his current form.
If the Spain international is a serious target, Spanish media outlet Sport (via Football Transfers) revealed the cost. Real Madrid wants between €35-million and €40-million for clubs attempting to buy Asensio this summer.
However, with Asensio only having one more year on his deal, it will be interesting to see whether they can fetch what they want for the forward. Along with Tottenham, other Premier League clubs linked to the Real Madrid man are Arsenal and Newcastle United.
This season Asensio has appeared in 38 fixtures where he’s scored 11 goals and recorded one assist.
Sell before you buy…sell before you buy
It’s thought provoking
Transfer choking
Levy is a cu#t
Right winger?
1 assist in 38 appearances?
Greedy little ****
Allegedly Conte has made it clear to Levy that he only want established senior players in the summer and not unknown punts or youth. It will be interesting to see whether Paratici is allowed to recruit the type of player Conte wants, or whether Levy will cast his shadow over proceedings once again and foul up.
One thing is for sure we will take forever to get a signing over the line and consequently lose good players to other “normal” clubs. Levy seems incapable of learning from his catalogue of mistakes.
