Tottenham Hotspur are looking to provide Ange Postecoglou with a striker in the summer who he is said to be a ‘huge fan’ of.

Feyenoord frontman Santiago Gimenez is the man in question with the Lilywhites being linked with a summer swoop for the Mexican.

And it is believed Postecoglou would approve of a potential deal with the striker a player who he is very much keen on.

Postecoglou a ‘huge fan’ of Gimenez

According to a report from TeamTalk, we are one of the clubs who are interested in the 22-year-old striker ahead of the summer.

Our London rivals, West Ham United, are now thought to be at serious risk of losing out on the striker to Tottenham.

With Postecoglou very much a fan of the striker, it is a deal which would not be out of reach for Spurs with a £42.7m price tag put on Gimenez’s head.

Gimenez to battle it out with Richarlison

You cannot deny the form which our Brazilian number nine, Richarlison, is currently showing in the Premier League.

The 26-year-old has returned a staggering nine in his last eight league games, if this record is to continue it is difficult to see how Postecoglou can look past Richarlison.

However, Gimenez is a player who is catching a lot of attention with his performances in Eredivisie for Feyenoord.

In his 20 league appearances this term, the 22-year-old has returned 19 goals and also provided four assists.

Speaking on the Talking Transfers podcast, transfer guru Graeme Bailey has previously described the Mexican as ‘sensational’.

We’ve had some bad luck with strikers from the Dutch league before, just look at Vincent Janssen, but Gimenez looks to be a real player.
