“Don’t blame us if we don’t win the trophy again next season.””If you really need the trophy, you must sign him.” Martin Ødegaard identifies a position where Arsenal lacks a suitable player and identifies the necessary players to address the issue.
Tottenham Hotspur is poised to enter negotiations to secure Feyenoord’s star forward, Santiago Giménez, during the summer transfer window. However, they are likely to face significant competition from Arsenal, as reported by Mexican outlet Fox Sports.
Tottenham has already enhanced their squad by acquiring Archie Gray from Leeds United and is nearing the completion of a deal for South Korean prospect Min-Hyuk Yang, who is expected to remain with the youth team for the upcoming season. Manager Ange Postecoglou is keen to further bolster the squad, particularly aiming to reinforce the attacking line.
Several players, including Jonathan David and Ivan Toney, have been associated with potential moves to Tottenham’s revamped White Hart Lane. Recently, Giménez has also surfaced as a prime target for the club.
According to Fox Sports, both Tottenham and Arsenal are keen on signing the Mexican striker this summer. They are not the only interested parties, as prominent clubs such as Juventus, AC Milan, RB Leipzig, and Atletico Madrid are also eyeing Giménez.
Although neither Tottenham nor Arsenal has made a formal offer yet, the player’s agent and father plan to travel to Europe soon to engage in discussions with interested clubs.
Giménez, who recently participated in the Copa America, has resumed pre-season training with Feyenoord. With four years left on his current contract, Feyenoord is in a strong position to demand a substantial transfer fee. The striker is valued at around £34 million by Transfermarkt.
The 23-year-old had an outstanding season, netting 23 goals and providing six assists in 30 Eredivisie matches. His remarkable performance has made him a highly coveted player, potentially a significant addition to either Arsenal or Tottenham. As the transfer window progresses, it will be intriguing to see which club ultimately secures his services, making this a pivotal storyline in the ongoing transfer saga.
