Prolific Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez has hinted at a summer move, but with a team that matches the ambition of the Tottenham-linked man.
Tottenham are looking for a new striker to update record holder Harry Kane, following his move to German giants Bayern Munich in 2023.
While the English foreigner’s former teammate Son Heung-min has continued to score goals for Spurs (the South Korean player contributed 17 last season), his compatriot Richarlison has been a disappointing signing.
The Brazilian joined Everton in the summer of 2022, but a total of 15 goals in 66 games is the kind of numbers you would expect from a £60m signing.
That, and much more, has led Tottenham to look for a new number nine, with Brentford’s Ivan Toney and Lille’s Jonathan David among their targets.
However, with fellow Brentford player Igor Thiago suffering a meniscus injury, the Bees may reconsider the possible departure of Toney, who is also wanted by West Ham.
If the England international, who in the past was targeted by Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea, remains on Thomas Frank’s side, Tottenham could turn to Gimenez from Feyenoord.
The Mexican foreigner had a season in 2023/24, scoring 26 goals and collecting 8 assists in 41 appearances in all competitions under the management of Arne Slot, who has now left the Dutch giants to take charge of Liverpool.
Naturally, this has caught the attention of potential suitors, but the 22-year-old will be sold cheaply, with his contract with the Eredivisie side running for three more years.
Today he himself talks about his future. Although he admitted there is “interest” from other teams, no concrete offers have been made, which are reportedly being eyed through clubs in England, Spain and Italy.
In addition, the former Cruz Azul player is satisfied to remain at Feyenoord, and only if a great opportunity arises, the 6-foot striker will leave.
The Buenos Aires-born player said through Voetbal Primeur: “There is interest from other clubs, but there is nothing serious, no donations or anything like that. So I’m focusing on the here and nowArray
“If there is an opportunity comparable to Feyenoord, then I have to take a look at it. Then we will see. I am an ambitious person, but I am still here and I have a contract. I will do it. ” My greatest productivity for the club until the last day of my presence.
“The only one who knows whether or not I am in a position to take the next step is God. He determines my long term and whether I am in a position to face it. I told CEO Dennis [te Kloese] and manager Brian [Priske] that they didn’t have to worry about my concentration.
