GiveMeSport have revealed that Tottenham Hotspur are considering stepping up their pursuit of Serhou Guirassy this summer, with Ange Postecoglou identifying the Stuttgart star as a cheaper alternative to the club’s other striker targets.
Guirassy has had an outstanding Bundesliga season, having scored 28 goals in as many league games this season and the centre-forward is expected to be among the most sought-after players across the continent this summer.
GiveMeSport claim that the Stuttgart star is one of several names on Spurs’ shortlist as they seek to sign a number nine.
The report says that Postecoglou and the other decision-makers at Tottenham are finding it difficult to ignore the striker’s impressive returns at the MHPArena this campaign.
The outlet points out that the Guinea international is a particularly desirable option for the North London side due to his £15m release clause, with the Premier League side thus not having to enter into negotiations with Stuttgart.
It is claimed that the other centre-forwards on the club’s radar, including Santiago Gimenez and Ivan Toney, are expected to cost at least twice as much.
The publication says that Postecoglou sees the Guirassy situation as ‘a great opportunity to exploit the market’, with Spurs now ‘seriously considering upping the ante in their pursuit’ of the player.
Spurs Web Opinion
While Ivan Toney is clearly the standout option among the centre-forwards linked with Tottenham, Guirassy would be a much safer bet than Santiago Gimenez. Not only will the 28-year-old be less expensive than the Mexican but he has also proven himself in a much better league.
