Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Boca Juniors winger Kevin Zenon.
The Argentine has been linked with the move to the Premier League for months and Newcastle United are keen on securing his services as well, according to a report from Pasion Futbol.
Tottenham are ‘closely following’ the 23-year-old attacker ahead of a potential move. It will be interesting to see if they step up their efforts to sign the player with an official proposal in the coming weeks. Zenon is highly rated in South America, and he has the physical and technical attributes to do well in English football as well.
He could prove to be a useful addition to the Tottenham attack. They need more quality and depth and a dynamic attacker like Zenon who is capable of slotting into multiple attacking roles could prove to be a solid addition.
The player has a €15 million release clause and he should prove to be a bargain at that price if he can adapt to English quickly. Furthermore, the attacker is still only 23 and he is only going to improve with coaching and experience. Tottenham should do everything in their power to get the deal done.
Newcastle keen on Kevin Zenon
They will face competition from top-four rivals, Newcastle United. The Magpies need attacking reinforcements as well, and it will be interesting to see if they can beat the North London club to his signature.
Both clubs will be attractive destinations for the player and it will be interesting to see where he ends up eventually. He needs to join a club where he will get regular game time. Both clubs have an exciting project and they could provide him with the platform to compete at a high level.
Zenon has picked up four goals and seven assists for Boca Juniors this season, and his numbers are likely to improve when he is playing in a better team alongside quality players.
