Tottenham are eyeing a move for prolific Mexican striker Santiago Gimenez, with Feyenoord planning talks with the player’s agents.
According to Corriere dello Sport via Sport Witness, Tottenham are eyeing a summer move for Santiago Gimenez. The Mexican has had another productive season with Feyenoord, who are fearful of losing the striker and have planned talks with his representatives.
Tottenham chasing Santiago Gimenez
Santiago Gimenez’s future decision is unclear ahead of the summer window as interest continues to mount. The Mexican has had another prolific season with 24 goals across all competitions, and he is now eager to prove himself on a bigger stage than Feyenoord.
He might have had some clubs chasing him in January, but Feyenoord wanted to keep him so they could continue their European campaign and maintain a stronghold in the Eredivisie. Tottenham are one of the sides keen, with Spurs ready to spend big on a new striker in the summer.
Santiago Gimenez fits the style of a new centre-forward that Ange Postecoglou needs and could enter the market for the Mexican star. Considering his prolific seasons in the Eredivisie, he will cost a lot of money, However, Napoli are also chasing him as a replacement for Victor Osimhen, meaning there is a increased competition for the forward.
Tottenham are keen, but they will have to pay a sizeable fee in return and beat the competition. However, Feyenoord are in no rush to part ways with the Mexican, as talks are planned with his representatives about his future, although the chances of the striker leaving are higher.
Feyenoord planning on Gimenez talks
Feyenoord have reportedly called Gimenez’s father and ‘AI-Guru’ Toon Van Bodegom to discuss the striker’s future. It is a tricky situation for the Dutch outfit, as they are aware that his father has been looking out for offers from other clubs and fear he could push the forward out of the side in the summer.
Regarding the qualities he brings to the table, Santiago Gimenez will undoubtedly have more than Tottenham or Napoli showing interest. Some other Premier League sides are also keen, with suggestions that the striker might jump towards a move to Real Madrid should they come calling. Hence, the chances for Feyenoord to keep hold of the striker are slim, as the Mexican will look for a big break in the summer.
