Revealed: Fabrizio Romano CONFIRMS Tottenham interest in star and makes key January transfer window prediction 🔮
Will we see a busy January window from Spurs?
Fabrizio Romano expects Tottenham won’t be spending crazy money this January but has confirmed their interest in Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez.
The talented young Mexico international has been on fire in the Eredivisie in recent times, and Romano has admitted that Spurs have been scouting him for some time, even if nothing is advanced yet or guaranteed to happen this January.
Tottenham won’t necessarily make any big moves this winter, with Romano suggesting it could depend on what opportunities are out there, which might lead to the club leaving it late on in the window to try to get players in.
Writing in his exclusive Daily Briefing column earlier today, Romano also played down links between Gimenez and Chelsea, which could be seen as good news for Spurs fans.
“We continue to have rumours about Santiago Gimenez, who is doing very well at Feyenoord - rumours about Chelsea and about Tottenham, but from what I can tell you, Tottenham sent their people to follow Gimenez multiple times, he’s going very well and scoring goals, but at the same time I’m hearing Chelsea are not making him a priority and are focusing on other players,” Romano said.
“Chelsea know the situation well, that Gimenez could be available for around €45m in January, but at the moment nothing concrete is ongoing, but I’ll keep you posted if the situation changes. It’s also important to say that Tottenham keep following the player, so that could be one to watch as it looks like Gimenez could be an important player on the market in the near future.
“Also on Spurs, we know they have some injuries in defence at the moment, but they are not desperate to sign cover. It will depend on opportunities. They’ve been unlucky because they’ve had a lot of injuries at the same time, but I’m told they won’t panic because they know most of these players will be back at the end of December, so they’ll assess the situation then.
“Overall, I don’t see Tottenham spending crazy money in January, that’s not the plan at the moment. They’re happy with the balance in the squad right now, but of course the recovery process of some key players will be important, so perhaps they could look for opportunities towards the end of the January window.”
