The transfer battle heats up as reports suggest that both Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal are gearing up for a fierce contest to secure the signature of Santiago Gimenez from Eredivisie outfit Feyenoord.
With summer transfer activities still resonating, Spurs and the Gunners are expected to keep the momentum alive in the ongoing transfer window. Having recently acquired talents like Timo Werner and Radu Dragusin, both teams remain on the lookout for potential striking reinforcements.
Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs have navigated through the absence of Harry Kane admirably, with Son Heung-Min and Richarlison stepping up to the challenge. Meanwhile, Arsenal’s striking duo, Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah, have faced challenges in finding the back of the net.
Gimenez emerges as a prime option, showcasing superb form with Feyenoord, having netted 20 goals and contributed five assists in 22 appearances across all competitions this season. Despite the mixed success rate of strikers transitioning from the Eredivisie to the Premier League, Gimenez has caught the eye of several clubs.
Recent reports have linked West Ham United to the Mexican international, and now, Football Insider suggests that Tottenham and Arsenal are actively contemplating a summer move for the ‘red-hot’ striker. West Ham, on the other hand, aims to secure his services in January, with a reported transfer fee ranging between £30-40 million.
However, Feyenoord seems reluctant to part ways with Gimenez mid-season, expressing a preference for a summer sale. The Dutch club believes that a better deal could be negotiated with Premier League giants like Arsenal or Tottenham during the summer transfer window.
In other Spurs news, defender Sergio Reguilon appears poised for a loan move, with Brentford emerging as a strong contender. Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano reveals that discussions are underway, and Brentford is pushing to secure the services of the Spanish left-back. As the transfer saga unfolds, Reguilon’s departure from Tottenham seems imminent, presenting an enticing opportunity for clubs, including Brentford, to bolster their squads.
