Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy has no agreement to join Fenerbahce this summer amid his links with Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotpsur, and Atletico Madrid.
In a conversation with reputed German journalist Patrick Berger, Karamba Guirassy has shot down suggestions that his brother and client Serhou Guirassy is on the verge of joining Fenerbahce. The update has boosted the prospects of his other prospective suitors, including Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur.
Karamba Guirassy said, “To clarify: no agreement of any kind has been reached. Serhou is currently evaluating his options for next season. Any claim of a verbal deal is simply not true.”
Serhou Guirassy and his Borussia Dortmund career so far
Serhou Guirassy has established himself as one of the most reliable strikers in the Bundesliga since joining Borussia Dortmund from VfB Stuttgart in July 2024. The 30-year-old arrived at Signal Iduna Park with sizeable expectations after his exploits with Die Schwaben, and he has lived up to the billing in the last two seasons.
The Guinean international scored 22 goals and provided six assists in 46 appearances across all competitions in the 2025/26 season. Guirassy’s consistency has piqued the attention of several well-known clubs looking for a striker, with Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur among the prospective suitors vying for his signature.
Premier League adventure beckoning?
Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Serhou Guirassy makes sense. The Lilywhites are combing the market for a striker, as Randal Kolo Muani will return to Paris Saint-Germain after an unsuccessful and unproductive stint with the North London club, which has yielded only five goals and four assists thus far. Additionally, Dominic Solanke has struggled with fitness issues throughout his spell at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
As for Aston Villa, Tammy Abraham has struggled for regular game time and, as a result, productivity since moving to the West Midlands club earlier this year. With the team over-dependent on Ollie Watkins in the final third, Unai Emery needs a reliable alternative, compelling the Villans to set their sights on the Borussia Dortmund centre-forward.
The 30-year-old Guinean international will only be a short-term solution due to his age profile. However, he brings a guaranteed output that the two English clubs are craving for ahead of the 2026/27 season. However, they should be wary about the interest from other prospective suitors, with Atletico Madrid and Fenerbahce also involved in the battle for his signature.
