Striker with 49 goals and 11 assists accepts to join Tottenham; he’s ready to say ‘yes’ to Postecoglou
Tottenham Hotspur are preparing for the upcoming transfer window with a focus on strengthening their forward line.
One prominent target is Feyenoord’s prolific striker, Santiago Gimenez.
Reports from Mexico, as cited by TeamTalk, indicate that Gimenez is keen on joining Spurs, preferring a move to North London despite interest from clubs like Liverpool, Southampton, and AC Milan.
The reports says that the 23-year-old is ready to say ‘yes’ to an approach from Postecoglou.
Gimenez, whose contract with Feyenoord extends until June 2027, has been in remarkable form in the Eredivisie.
Since joining from Cruz Azul for €6 million in 2022, the 23-year-old has shown steady improvement, making him an attractive option for the Lilywhites.
Gimenez ranks as the second-highest goalscorer in the Dutch top flight this season, with 23 goals and 6 assists in 30 appearances.

His impressive performances have caught Tottenham’s attention, positioning him as a key target for the summer.
The defending Eredivisie champions might be willing to part with Gimenez if their valuation of €45 million is met, which aligns with his current market value.
Gimenez’s desire to join Spurs, combined with his goal-scoring ability and potential to fill the void left by Harry Kane, makes him a prime candidate for the club.
With Richarlison’s inconsistent performances and injury issues, signing a new striker is imperative for Ange Postecoglou.
The Australian manager aims to compete for the Premier League title next season, and having a lethal striker like Gimenez leading the attack, surrounded by the likes of Son Heung-min, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, and Brennan Johnson, could be the boost Tottenham needs.
