BREAKING NEWS: “Don’t blame us if we don’t win the trophy next season. If you want it, you need to sign him.” Martin Ødegaard highlights a weak spot in Arsenal’s lineup and the players needed to fix it.
Tottenham Hotspur is looking to negotiate a deal for Feyenoord’s star forward Santiago Giménez this summer, but faces stiff competition from Arsenal, as reported by Mexican outlet Fox Sports.
Spurs have already strengthened their squad with the signing of Archie Gray from Leeds United and are close to securing a deal for South Korean prospect Min-Hyuk Yang, who is not expected to join the senior team next season. Manager Ange Postecoglou is keen on further signings to bolster the attack.
Several players, including Jonathan David and Ivan Toney, have been linked with a move to Tottenham’s newly renovated White Hart Lane. Giménez has also emerged as a target for the club.
Fox Sports reports that both Tottenham and Arsenal are interested in signing the Mexican striker this summer. They also face competition from Juventus, AC Milan, RB Leipzig, and Atletico Madrid.
The report indicates that neither Tottenham nor Arsenal has made a formal offer for Giménez yet, but the player’s agent and father are planning a trip to Europe to discuss with potential suitors.
Giménez recently returned from playing in the Copa America and has begun pre-season training with Feyenoord. Despite having four years left on his current contract, Feyenoord is in a strong position to demand a substantial transfer fee, with Giménez valued at around £34 million by Transfermarkt.
The 23-year-old striker had an impressive season, scoring 23 goals and providing six assists in 30 Eredivisie matches. His performance has made him a highly sought-after player, potentially valuable to either Arsenal or Tottenham. The competition to secure his services is a key storyline in the current transfer window.
