Tottenham are keen on in-form striker but will need to bid at least £43m
It’s no secret that Spurs need to strengthen their forward line after Harry Kane left for Bayern Munich in the summer. Heung-min Son is currently in charge of that line and doing a fantastic job at it.
With six goals so far this season (Transfermarkt), the South Korean appears to be returning to his peak form. However, that doesn’t stop the gossip trail from spreading.
It may be difficult to believe that Spurs would need another attacker given the skill of Richarlison, Brennan Johnson, and Dejan Kulusevski, but the rumors connecting the team to Feyenoord’s prolific frontman won’t go away.
With 12 goals in his first nine games this season (Transfermarkt), Santiago Gimenez is drawing interest from some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
How much is Gimenez worth right now?
The Italian publication La Repubblica has the most recent information on the Mexican striker, mentioning Inter Milan as a possible buyer for Gimenez.
But it’s also believed that Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid, and Tottenham are interested. Gimenez’s current form is reportedly “bewitching” these massive clubs, with an eye toward a move next summer, according to the article.
However, it will cost €50 million (£43 million) to pry him away from the Dutch champions, and that amount is likely to climb only if Gimenez keeps scoring goals in the same way that he does presently.
Feyenoord has “blocked any transfer for January,” according to the source, so interested parties will have to wait. Additionally, it’s thought that “satisfying” Gimenez’s present club won’t be simple.
Gimenez is enjoying himself much when he scores goals, and I have a suspicion that he could do the same in the Premier League. If he continues at this rate, the summer will see a lot of interest in him, but the Spurs need to make sure they are mentioned in that conversation.
