Tottenham Hotspur are one of the clubs interested in a former Premier League striker, who is thought to be keen on a summer transfer.
Roberto De Zerbi has made no secret of the fact that the number nine has to be intelligent and versatile in his system, and it remains to be seen if any of Tottenham’s current options can perform that role.
The Italian may thus have to turn to the transfer market to find a suitable option to lead the line next season.
It has now emerged that Tottenham may pounce on a chance to sign a 26-year-old centre-forward, who had a mixed record in one of the Premier League’s biggest clubs.
Tottenham battling two rivals for Darwin Nunez
Back in February, it was reported that Tottenham had held talks with intermediaries over a move for former Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez, who Saudi side Al-Hilal signed for £56.6m.
A new report in TEAMtalk has now confirmed that the striker is eyeing a summer move, and Spurs are one of the two clubs to be approached, the other being Newcastle United.
It is revealed that both clubs retain an interest in the Uruguay international ahead of the summer window.
Additionally, Tottenham Hotspur’s London rivals, Chelsea, have now entered the race, and the Blues have already carried out work on Nunez as they finalise their striker targets for the summer.
Nunez is desperate to return to Europe
The interest in the former Liverpool man is not restricted to England, with Juventus, AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund also on his trail.
TEAMtalk reveal that Nunez has now been dropped from Al-Hilal’s Saudi Pro League squad following the arrival of Kevin Benzema, due to restrictions on the number of overseas players.
The 26-year-old is thus actively pursuing a return to Europe and is even prepared to take a significant pay cut to do so as long as it is for the right project.
