Tottenham Hotspur FC emerges as the frontrunner in the pursuit of Dutch-Nigerian striker, Joshua Zirkzee, with Manchester United and AC Milan trailing behind, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.
Following the departure of club icon Harry Kane to Bayern Munich last summer, Spurs have faced challenges in their attacking lineup. The loan signing of former Chelsea forward Timo Werner from RB Leipzig was an attempt to bolster their options; however, Werner’s impact has been underwhelming, raising doubts about his future at the club beyond the current season.
Zirkzee, currently showcasing his talent in Serie A, has captured the attention of Tottenham scouts with his impressive performances. Although he may not yet match Kane’s caliber, the 22-year-old forward has been among the top strikers in the Italian league this season, making him an attractive prospect for Spurs. According to Transfermarkt, the player’s current value estimates at €30 million.
With only Son Heung-min and Richarlison having scored more league goals than Zirkzee within the Tottenham squad, his potential addition promises to inject additional firepower into Ange Postecoglou’s side.
Alongside Zirkzee, Tottenham has also been linked with other talents such as Feyenoord’s Santiago Gimenez and Stuttgart’s Serhou Guirassy, indicating their determination to reinforce their attacking options.
Zirkzee’s inclusion in the provisional Netherlands squad for their upcoming internationals against Scotland and Germany further underscores his growing reputation in European football.
The race for Zirkzee’s signature intensifies as Tottenham aims to secure his services, providing a glimpse of their ambition to revitalize their attacking force.
