Tottenham Hotspur are one to watch in the race to sign Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez.
Gimenez could be cheaper than other striker targets like Ivan Toney or Evan Ferguson this summer.
Gimenez was spotted at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday for the North London Derby.
Tottenham Hotspur are the most likely Premier League side to sign Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez, journalist Ben Jacobs has told GIVEMESPORT.
Spurs are one of several clubs interested in the Mexican international, who could depart the Dutch side this summer and was spotted at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday to watch the defeat to Arsenal.
Ange Postecoglou remains in search of a Harry Kane replacement, after the England man’s departure for Bayern Munich last summer.
According to Jacobs, Spurs are in prime position out of the Premier League clubs to secure the powerful striker’s signature, with Football Talent Scout Jacek Kulig calling him “out of this world” on his X account this season.
He said:
“I think from the Premier League, Tottenham are still the ones to watch, they’ve been tracking Gimenez since November.
“He’s a player that Ange Postecoglou in particular likes and thinks could fit their system.”
Gimenez has netted 21 goals and provided five assists in the Eredivisie this term, which has established him as one of European football’s best up and coming strikers.
Gimenez has also netted two hat-tricks this campaign, including one in a 4-0 win against Dutch giants Ajax at the Joan Cruyff Arena.
Spurs lack a clinical finisher up top, with Richarlison and Timo Werner contributing just 12 league goals between them this season, the striker could slot in well to form a partnership with Heung-Min Son from the left flank.
Gimenez Would be Cheaper Than Other Targets
A key reason why Spurs are tracking the Mexican is because he will likely be available for far cheaper than several alternatives, including players already in the Premier League.
Brentford’s Ivan Toney would potentially cost Spurs upwards of £60m, while Brighton’s talented teenage striker Evan Ferguson is reportedly valued at £100m by his current club.
