Tottenham make contact over £17M Xabi Alonso target who’s outscoring Cole Palmer this season
As Ange Postecoglou looks to add to his team even more, Tottenham Hotspur is likely to be busy with transfers this summer.
Last year, Spurs barely made it to eighth place in the Premier League. This year, they are having a better season.
Many bad games and losses in recent weeks, though, have shown that Tottenham still has a lot of work to do.
In order to improve their team, Tottenham could look to add a striker who can play all over the pitch.
A story from Germany says Spurs have talked to a 23-year-old striker who has scored more goals this season than Cole Palmer.
Kevin Denkey is a forward for Cercle Brugge and plays for Togo. He has scored 25 goals in all club events this season.
Rembert Vromant, the technical head of Cercle, told Het Laatste Nieuws a few days ago that Tottenham and Aston Villa are among the teams that are interested in his team.
Now, Fussball Transfers says that Spurs have “put out feelers” for Denkey ahead of a possible summer transfer window approach.
Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund, and Napoli are also said to be interested in the 6-foot striker, who has scored four goals in 25 Togo games. Tottenham is one of them.
It is said that Cercle Brugge wants €20 million (£17 million) for Denkey, which would be a club record.
Who is Kevin Denkey, who Tottenham Hotspur wants to sign?
In his early years, Kevin Denkey played for the French club Nimes before being sold to Cercle Brugge in 2020.
The 23-year-old has gotten better at the Belgian club with each season. After 35 games this season, he has scored 26 goals, which is more than Chelsea’s Palmer.
Denkey scored 13 goals last season. In his first two seasons at the club, he scored a total of 11 goals across all categories.
In the beginning of the season, The Scouting App said, “Denkey is a complete striker profile, versatile enough to handle different roles.”
“He mostly plays as a centre forward, but he can also play as a winger next to the sideline, preferably on the right side, because he is tall and can throw defences off balance and let them in.”
“He is a strong and smart player who can easily fit into different attacking systems and score a lot of goals.”
