journalist in 23 y/o’s homeland says he’s now very close to joining Spurs after Levy bid

Tottenham Hotspur are set to secure their second signing of the summer, focusing on bolstering their attacking options.

Manager Ange Postecoglou has emphasized the need for fresh talent upfront, following a disappointing conclusion to the previous Premier League season.

Postecoglou has made it clear to Chairman Daniel Levy that new attackers are essential for the upcoming season. In response, Tottenham secured Timo Werner for another loan spell, following his successful stint in the latter half of last season.

Additionally, there’s anticipation of another winger joining the squad, with Marcus Edwards, a former Lilywhite, being a prime candidate.

The departure of Harry Kane left a significant gap in Tottenham’s attacking lineup. The club has been linked with several strikers, including Ivan Toney and Sevilla’s Youssef En-Nesyri, aiming to strengthen their front line and allow Heung-Min Son to return to his preferred wide position.

Tottenham is now closing in on Mexican striker Santiago Gimenez. The club has shown long-term interest in Gimenez, who emerged as one of the most sought-after players this summer. He scored 23 goals in the Eredivisie last season, playing a pivotal role in helping Feyenoord secure a second-place finish.

Former Feyenoord legend Mario Been praised Gimenez for his performance, particularly highlighting his ability to score crucial goals.

Gimenez’s prowess was evident when he scored twice against Ajax, demonstrating his goal-scoring capabilities and solidifying his reputation as a top striker.

Gimenez was spotted at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in April during the North London Derby against Arsenal. This sighting fueled speculation about his potential move to Spurs.

According to Mexican radio station TUDN Radio, Tottenham is “very close to joining” the race for Gimenez, competing with Atletico Madrid for his signature.

Both Tottenham and Atletico Madrid have submitted bids for Gimenez, but Tottenham’s offer is reportedly higher.

Feyenoord has requested Atletico to match Spurs’ bid to remain in contention, but the Spanish club is struggling to do so. This financial edge puts Tottenham in a favorable position to secure Gimenez.

While the exact transfer fee remains undisclosed, Italian sources have previously suggested a valuation of around €50 million (£42 million) for Gimenez.

Considering the high demand for strikers this summer, this fee could represent excellent value for money if Tottenham successfully acquires Gimenez.

Securing Santiago Gimenez could significantly enhance Tottenham’s attacking prowess.

With his proven track record and goal-scoring ability, Gimenez has the potential to fill the void left by Harry Kane and help Tottenham achieve their ambitions in the upcoming season.

The addition of such a talented striker would undoubtedly excite Spurs fans and provide a much-needed boost to their squad.
