Tottenham not willing to spend £30m on ‘one of Europe’s hottest’ attacking talents this summer

Tottenham are on the hunt for a forward now that they have lost Harry Kane but they are apparently not willing to spend big on one of their targets.

According to publication voetbalkrant, Tottenham are one of the Premier League clubs interested in signing Gift Orban.

The report goes on to say that he is ‘on the list’ for Spurs, Fulham and also French side Lille this summer transfer window.

Apparently, Tottenham are not willing to spend the £25million it would take to sign him. Despite this, they do not want to give up on signing him. This is because they see him as a ‘transfer for the long term’.

Tottenham want to sign Gift Orban

Orban would be a great attacking signing for Spurs. He has 25 goals in 25 matches for Gent and this highlights how prolific the 21 year-old is.

Orban has been deemed ‘one of Europe’s hottest football commodities‘ and his goalscoring exploits emphasise why this is.

He clearly has a very high-ceiling so you can see how Spurs see him as a signing for the present and the future.

With Kane gone, they definitely need a new starting striker. If they do not see Orban being given the key role consistently at the club then you can maybe see why they want to spend less on him.

Despite this, they clearly believe that the Nigerian has the potential to replace Kane long-term. With this in mind, they should definitely try and sign him this summer.

Hopefully they bring a striker to the club before the transfer window shuts. They have started the season well but if they do then

Tottenham insiders ‘taken aback’ by £22m player over the past few weeks

A new era has arrived at Tottenham Hotspur with Ange Postecoglou as the manager and Son Heung-min as his captain.

Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who previously wore the armband, is seeking a move away from the club.

And Harry Kane, who would’ve been the favourite to take over from Lloris as captain, has already left.

Son, one of Tottenham’s longest-serving players and captain of his country, seemed like the next logical choice.

However, according to football.london, there was surprise among Spurs insiders regarding Postecoglou’s decision to pick Son as captain.

The South Korea star wasn’t part of Tottenham’s leadership group in recent years, despite being one of Spurs’ older players.

Lloris, Kane, Eric Dier and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg also formed part of this group. However, none of these are in leadership roles under Postecoglou.

He picked Son as captain, and James Maddison and Cristian Romero as his vice-captains.

Postecoglou’s decision to name the £22million forward as his new captain is already paying dividends.

As per football.london, even those who did not see him as a leader at club level have been ‘taken aback’ by just how much Son has relished the new challenge.

Apparently, Spurs insiders have noticed him grow quickly with the responsibility.

He has become an active leader when, previously, he was simply a popular member of the squad.

Indeed, Son was the one who came up with the idea of the team huddle by the travelling Tottenham fans at Brentford.

Our view

Credit to Son for stepping up to the occasion, like all great footballers – indeed, all great people – do.

And credit to Postecoglou for choosing Son as captain. In hindsight, it really was a no-brainer.

Tottenham have started the season well and it’ll be exciting to see how they fare over the coming months.

After so many false dawns, Spurs are looking good again. And it’s not just the results, but the style of play too.
