Arsenal and Tottenham are among those keen on Feyenoord hitman Santiago Gimenez, but the Mexican might only move in the summer.
According to Football Insider, Santiago Gimenez has some important suitors from the Premier League, with Arsenal and Tottenham interested. The Mexican might not move out of Feyenoord in mid-season, as the Dutch champions prefer a summer sale.
Arsenal and Tottenham chase Santiago Gimenez
There are quite a few forwards in world football with a prolific profile as Santiago Gimenez over the last 18 months. The Mexican has once again had a brilliant start to the campaign with Feyenoord, with 21 goals scored across all competition for the Dutch side.
The 20-goal star’s stellar start to the season has already seen some of the biggest clubs showing an interest. The Mexican has had consistent suitors since the start of the current campaign, with Arsenal and Tottenham among those who are keen.
The North London duo have been looking for a new striker for some time. The Gunners, in particular, are looking for a prolific goalscorer to lead their line and might end up experimenting with the signing of Gimenez. Any move will depend on Feyenoord’s asking price, with previous reports suggesting they will =demand at least £60 million.
Tottenham also had a look at Gimenez earlier and might still retain an interest as they continue to search for a long-term replacement for Harry Kane. They did sign Tmo Werner this month on loan, and that might see them shut shop on the attacking side of their squad.
If Gimenez becomes available in the summer, then the two north London sides will scramble for his signature alongside a host of other top clubs.
Santiago Gimenez is in high demand.
Gimenez has already scored 21 goals this season and harbours big ambitions for the future. There was speculation that some of the big sides might have looked to sign him this month, but Feyenoord is not keen on a mid-season sale.
Feyenoord are still fighting on multiple fronts, especially in the Eredivisie, and considers Gimenez as one of their best players. While they are not keen on a sale now, some of the interested clubs might make a generous offer in the summer.
Arsenal and Tottenham are clearly in the mix for the 20-goal star either this month or the summer, but some others, including Real Madrid, might consider signing the Mexican.
