In a move that could shape Tottenham’s fortunes next season, Santiago Gimenez is reportedly set to join the North London club. According to teamtalk, “Tottenham have seemingly been given the green light to sign Santiago Gimenez this summer,” with the striker favouring a move to Spurs over other interested clubs, including Liverpool, Southampton, and AC Milan. This decision comes as a significant boost for Ange Postecoglou, who has been on the lookout for a prolific striker to lead his line.
Postecoglou’s Striker Conundrum
Since the departure of Harry Kane, Tottenham have struggled to find a consistent replacement. Son Heung-min has been asked to play more centrally, and Richarlison has been given opportunities to step up. However, the results have been mixed. Son’s effectiveness diminishes when played out of his natural position on the left, and Richarlison’s return of 15 goals in 66 games over two seasons highlights an area in need of improvement.
Saturday is the anniversary of the most important match-up between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.
The Reds often got the better of Spurs in commanding fashion during Jurgen Klopp’s time as manager.
A few years later, Tottenham were finally able to make up for Diaz’s move to Anfield
Tottenham lead the race for Santiago Gimenez From the looks of it, if Liverpool were to buy Spurs players this summer there would surely only be one winner
Yes, Liverpool lost Klopp, the asset to convince any new signings
But in Arne Slot, they also brought in a coach with an excellent background
The Red Devils are back in the Champions League, while Spurs will participate in the Europa League next season
Ange Postecoglou’s side, however, remain a relatively attractive proposition
That’s apparently the opinion of Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez, anyway
Gimenez has been linked with a move to Liverpool this week, as the Red Devils look to add another striker to their squad
But speaking exclusively to Rousing The Kop, journalist Graeme Bailey says Tottenham are now in control of the Mexican
“I think Spurs like him a lot, they’ve been working with him,” Bailey said
“I would put them as favorites in this race at the moment
“I haven’t heard much about Liverpool,” the journalist added
“I know there is a connection with Arne Slot but what impact does the coach have on finding players, I don’t think Liverpool are built like that
They may question his players, but I don’t think he doesn’t think so
” will lead this
Santiago Gimenez could be Liverpool’s answer Gimenez looks set to move up the football ladder this summer He has had two fantastic seasons at Feyenoord
As Liverpool look to add a new striker to Slot’s squad, signing Gimenez would make a lot of sense
The 23-year-old is agile, tall and has a more skilled playing style than the Red Devils’ current options
Additionally, Gimenez knows how Slot wants to play and can provide a reference point for the remaining strikers
That said, the Mexican international appears to have paid a very high price
According to 90min, Feyenoord wants to equal the sales record in the Eredivisie if they want to sell Gimenez
That figure currently stands at the £87m Man United paid for Antony in 2022
At that price, we don’t think Spurs or Liverpool will win this game
