Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the AC Milan attacker Noah Okafor.
According to Gazzetta Dello Sport (h/t SempreMilan), Tottenham have expressed interest in signing the Swiss attacker, and AC Milan are prepared to sanction his departure before the window closes.
The 24-year-old has not been a key player for Milan and they are ready to cash in on him. It seems unlikely that they will be able to get rid of the player permanently in January and perhaps a loan move is more likely. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Tottenham will face competition from West Ham who have expressed interest in the Swiss International as well.
Okafor is capable of operating anywhere across the front three, and he will add goals and assists to the side. Tottenham need more depth in the final third and he could be a useful acquisition, especially if they can sign him on loan. It would be no risk signing for them for a reasonable investment.
Furthermore, a move to England could help the player get back to his best as well. He needs a fresh start, and it will be interesting to see if a move to the Premier League can help him recapture his top form.
The Swiss International was highly rated during his time in the Bundesliga, but he has not been able to replicate that form in Italy. He has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in England and it remains to be seen whether he can hit the ground running at Tottenham.
The 24-year-old could prove to be an upgrade on players like Timo Werner if he manages to adapt to English football quickly. The player will certainly hope to secure an exit from Milan before the window closes later today, and it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds.
