Tottenham Hotspur have been in the market for an attacking player, one capable of playing in the wide areas.
Recently, Spurs have missed out on Eberechi Eze to Arsenal, while Manchester City declined interests for Savinho.
Eze decided to move to Arsenal, while Manchester City rejected Tottenham’s €70 million bid, insisting he remains an important part of Pep Guardiola’s project.
The UEFA Europa League champions have now added Ademola Lookman and Xavi Simons to their shortlist.
According to German journalist Florian Plettenberg, RB Leipzig want a €70 million fee for Simons. The club have already informed Leipzig of their intention to sign him.
Nigeria international, Ademola Lookman is highly admired by members of Tottenham’s board.
Per Ben Jacobs, there is a possibility that the club will make a move for him before deadline day, with the deal expected to cost around €50 million to prise him away from Atalanta.
With Chelsea also showing strong interest in Xavi Simons, a transfer to Tottenham for Lookman is possible, especially if Spurs fail to secure the Dutch midfielder.
The Winger is expected to leave Atalanta, with previous talks having been held with Inter Milan over a potential move.
However, that deal eventually fell through due to Atalanta’s €50 million demands.
Lookman has continued to attract attention across Europe with his consistency, and ability to deliver in big moments.
Tottenham, in their search for attacking reinforcements, see him as a valuable option who can add both creativity to the frontline alongside Richarlison.
with few days left to deadline day, Tottenham’s interest in Lookman could lead to negotiations especially with Thomas Frank’s demands for a wide forward who has Premier League experience.
