Spurs plan a “machine” offer that surpasses Solance
Injuries are widespread in Tottenham Hotspur detachment. According to the ESPN reportAngea Postecoglou’s team currently has ten first team players due to injuries and it doesn’t seem like things will calm down soon.
Therefore, it would be a surprise if the Lilywhites did not dive into the January transfers market to strengthen their team and, at the very least, help to pat the injuries within the team. It turned out to be a real problem for Spurs.
Postecoglou claimed that the club was “playing fire” if he did not sign a new contract, but he may not have to worry about it. They were recently associated with a new attacking accessory, which they needed after that Dominica Solanke six -week injuries.
Spurs targets a new striker
This is Feyenoord’s and Mexican international striker Santiago Gimenez. It was another impressive season for the 23-year-old, who attracted the attention of several top clubs across Europe.
According to the exclusive report of GivemesportThe Lilywhite ‘is believed to be playing with the idea of trying to get’ the requested face. The report suggests that Gimenez is a ‘long -term target’ for the club, suggesting that it has already been well scored at this stage.
However, they will not be alone in the hunt for the Mexican national team. The Italian giant AC Milan is also interested in bringing attackers to Serie A.
As for the price, Gimenez could cost Lilywhte around £ 40m, perhaps magnified by the fact that Feyenoord is not interested in in January if he can help.
Why would Gimenez be a good signature
In addition to the fact that Gimenez will add the much -needed depth of the team to Tottenham Hotspur, will also bring the most important thing a striker can add to the football club, goals.
The 23-year-old has an impressive record in all competitions this season. Has 15 goals and three assists in 18 gamesincluding four goals in four Champions League games.
He recently scored two goals in a fantastic 3-0 victory at home against German Bayern Munich. Soccer Hunter Jacek Kulig described him as “Machine” for a reason.
As for Spurs, the reason for Gimenez’s lack of minutes this season is injury, which may be a factor that Lilywhitese could prevent in the work of work. Between September and November 2024. He missed 65 days and 12 matches with the problem of thighs.
In addition to the fact that his injuries were the problem of this term, he actually surpassed Solance in all competitions. Former Bournemouth star has had 11 career goals so far, having a played 29 games For the club to this day. Having two such fertile attackers as Gimenez and Solance would be a great competition for postecoglou.
Maybe, in the long run, Gimenez could be the perfect replacement Harry Kane replacement for Spurs. North London citizens have never really been able to replace their record striker, who scored 280 goals and recorded 61 assists In 435 games for the club.
If he was viewed as a long -term replacement for the English captain, Gimenez would certainly have something to fulfill. Kane scored several fantastic goals for Spurs and constantly managed to score 20 or more goals in one season of the Premier League, doing it six times.
However, when compared to pair statistics from the Champions League 2024/25 using SquawkeThere are moments when the Feyenoord star surpasses Kane.

Although £ 40m is on the higher side of Gimenz’s value, it seems that it could be a big job for Lilywhites. Not only would they sign a contract with someone who surpassed their first choice number nine of this season, but they could finally replace Kane, a task that has proven to be relentless so far.
Investing is a lot of money, but perhaps necessary to continue Lilywhits.
