Tottenham are extremely interested in Joshua Zirkzee ahead of the summer, with Bologna set to demand at least €60 million.
According to Corriere dello Sport via Sport Witness, Tottenham is serious about Joshua Zirkzee, with Bologna set to demand around €60 million for the striker. The Dutchman has come in high demand and is on the list of many top clubs in the Premier League, although any move will not be straightforward.
Tottenham serious about Joshua Zirkzee
Tottenham are in the market for various players and could even look to bolster their striker position. Several options have been mentioned as the new centre-forward for Ange Postecoglou, including Genoa’s versatile star Albert Gudmundsson. There is interest in the Icelandic star, but the Spurs are also exploring other names.
For instance, a recent report pointed at their interest in Joshua Zirkzee, with another stating that Antonio Conte could complicate a move should he take over as Bayern Munich’s new manager. The Bavarians have favourable clauses in the 22-year-old Dutchman’s contract at Bologna, but Zirkzee is not overly keen on a return to Germany. Bologna will demand at least €60 million for the striker, and may not come down.
Hence, the likelihood of him joining one of his Premier League suitors remains high, with Tottenham seriously considering a move. Spurs have not replaced Harry Kane since his departure to Bayern Munich in the summer. Postecoglou wants another option alongside Richarlison and Heung-min Son to lead the line next season.
Zirkzee will be an essential addition to this side should they make a severe approach in the summer. For instance, his physical presence in the central areas will give any team the edge, especially Tottenham, as they have yet to find that sort of a profile with either Richarlison or Son.
Tottenham face intense competition for Zirkzee
Tottenham could be considered the latest club to enter the Zirkzee chase, as there have been a number of other top-rated suitors already chasing the Dutchman. Arsenal are also keen on the striker and is contemplating their approach to the Bologna star.
Manchester United have been keeping tabs well before January. However, there are doubts if they will spend another €60 million on a new out-and-out striker after spending €75 million on Rasmus Hojlund last summer.
