Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with the Mexican international striker Santiago Gimenez in recent months.
The 23-year-old striker is expected to be on the move this summer and clubs like Atletico Madrid are keen on signing him as well. According to a report from TUDN Radio, the player is now very close to joining Tottenham. It will be interesting to see if the North London club can wrap up the transfer.
The Feyenoord striker scored 26 goals in all competitions last season and picked up eight assists as well.
Tottenham could certainly use a quality attacker next season and the Mexican would be a superb acquisition. The North London club decided not to replace Harry Kane last summer, but they have missed a clinical finisher like him. The 23-year-old striker could fill that void next season.
He has already proven himself in Dutch football and he certainly good enough for the Premier League. He could develop into a key player for Tottenham in the coming season seasons.
The Mexican international is still only 23, and he will only improve with coaching and experience Tottenham will be hoping to push for trophies next season and they will look to secure Champions League qualification as well. They need top quality players in order to compete with the elite clubs and someone like Gimenez could make a big difference for them in the final third..
The opportunity to join the London club would be exciting one for the player as well. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can finalise an agreement now.
Emerson Royal talks up potential AC Milan move with clubs in advanced talks
Tottenham Hotspur defender Emerson Royal has confirmed that he could join Serie A giants AC Milan this summer.
Both clubs are locked in negotiations over a potential move for the Brazilian defender, who has made it clear he wants to join the European giants.
Spurs are looking to prune their bloated squad this summer to make room for reinforcements.
They have already confirmed that defender Ryan Sessegnon will leave the club when his contract runs out at the end of the month.
Emerson could soon follow him through the exit, with the Brazil international confirming that there are ongoing talks between Spurs and Milan over his move to Serie A.
“I know Milan are in contact with Tottenham, they asked about me,” Emerson said in an interview on the YouTube channel of Andre Hernan (via Gazzetta).
“For me, it’s very satisfying because so many Brazilian players have played for Milan. Let’s wait and see what happens.
“AC Milan’s jersey is very important and heavy. Knowing that teams like this are following me makes me very happy.”
Tottenham need a more reliable cover for Pedro Porro
Emerson joined Tottenham from Barcelona in 2021 but lost his place in the starting line-up after Ange Postecoglou arrived at the club.
The Australian tactician preferred Pedro Porro as his designated right-back, and the Spanish defender repaid his faith by establishing himself as one of the key players in the squad.
After losing his place at right-back, Emerson started just 11 of his 22 Premier League appearances, featuring predominantly at left-back.
He is now set for a new chapter in his career, which could begin at Milan, assuming both clubs agree on his transfer fee.
