Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing 20-year-old Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund ahead of next season.
According to Calciomercatoweb, Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing Rasmus Hojlund. The 20-year-old striker has had an impressive season in Serie A, and a lot of clubs are interested in acquiring his services.
Rasmus Hojlund joined Atalanta ahead of the ongoing season from Sturm Graz. He has gone from strength to strength since arriving in Italy. The 20-year-old has featured in 25 matches and has ten goal contributions for the Italian top-flight club. His exploits have also earned him the moniker “new Haaland”.
As far as the ongoing season goes, Hojlund has 19 goal contributions in 33 outings. The Denmark international has been on fire, and his performances have not gone unnoticed. A lot of clubs have their eyes on the 20-year-old who is considered the “new Haaland”.
While Hojlund’s current contract with the Serie A club runs until the summer of 2027, he is likely to leave the club in the summer given the amount of interest in his services. And, the lack of young talented strikers in the market.
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur are one of the clubs that are keen on acquiring his services. north The London club are on the lookout for a new number nine amid uncertainties around Harry Kane’s future. Spurs’ 29-year-old marksman is looking to part ways with the club in the summer.
Meanwhile, the England international has scored 21 goals in his 28 Premier League outings this season. It has been another sensational season in front of the goal for the Spurs striker. However, the fact that Tottenham have not won a silverware for a long while has frustrated their marksman. And, he wants to move to a club that fights for important titles.
If Kane ends up leaving Tottenham, his departure will leave a huge void at the London club. They will look to fill it by signing the 20-year-old. Spurs will sell the 29-year-old for a fee close to €100-115 million. And, they can easily reinvest a portion of that amount to land Hojlund at the club.

While there is uncertainty around Kane’s future, he could even stay at the club if they promise him a bigger project under the new manager. If he ends up staying, it will be interesting to see whether they push for Hojlund who could eventually take over from their leading marksman.
