Spurs confident they will sign “electric” £25m star

Tottenham Hotspur nearly fell by the wayside final season, however Ange Postecoglou picked them up and propelled them ahead within the dying embers.

Regardless of the London membership’s woes within the Premier League, slumping to a Seventeenth-place end after a catastrophic failure in Postecoglou’s system, the Australian tactician nonetheless managed to stroll the place so many predecessors acquired misplaced earlier than him, rallying his troops on the continental stage and successful the Europa League.

That triumph, ending a 17-year anticipate a significant trophy, additionally opened up a complete new world of prospects down N17, for Spurs will now compete in subsequent yr’s Champions League.

It wasn’t sufficient to avoid wasting Ange, as everyone knows, however Thomas Frank is a improbable alternative within the dugout, and he is seeking to rewrite the coding inside Tottenham’s attacking line.

The newest on Spurs’ seek for forwards

Tottenham have endured a considerably irritating begin to the switch window. Poaching Brentford’s boss led some to imagine that the possibilities of signing Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo have been heightened, however the goalscorer has since reportedly doubled down on his need to signal for Manchester United.

Antoine Semenyo emerged as one other prime goal, however Bournemouth’s £70m price ticket postpone suitors from each which method. He has since penned a brand new deal on the Vitality Stadium. A deal for Mohammed Kudus, a minimum of, seems to be transferring ahead.

Kudus needs to affix Spurs and has been the topic of a rejected £50m bid already. He is a menacing winger, an elite expertise, however the 24-year-old does not fairly tackle the necessity for a goalscoring broad ahead.

Properly, Mbeumo and Semenyo could be off the playing cards, however Tottenham may but signal Evann Guessand from OGC Good, with Soccer Insider reporting that Tottenham have entered the race for the versatile ahead.

Guessand, 24, can also be attracting consideration from Brighton and Wolves within the Premier League, with Fenerbahce abroad additionally eager, however Daniel Levy believes his outfit is effectively positioned to win the race.

Good can be on the lookout for a £25m to half with their star, and that is definitely inside Tottenham’s means.

What Evann Guessand would carry to Spurs

Guessand’s versatility is his energy. Blessed with “electrical” tempo, as has been famous by journalist Antonio Mango, and a pure eye for aim, the Ivorian is ideal for Tottenham.

Final season, he coated loads of floor for his French facet, taking part in throughout every of these offensive positions and to an ideal impact, posting 13 targets and ten assists throughout 42 fixtures in all competitions.

Artistic and with a pointy eye for aim, Guessand definitely matches the invoice. Frank’s efforts to signal Mbeumo and Semenyo have fallen via, and whereas a bid for Kudus is within the works, he is certainly not the free-scoring sort.

Guessand, nevertheless, would add a medical shine to the Frank engine, hailed for his “loopy” skill by expertise scout Jacek Kulig.

His high quality speaks for itself, and he is even been described by data-led website FBref as bearing an identical profile to Bournemouth’s Semenyo, who has been profiled so extensively by the Lilywhites.

Each gamers bear similarities, for certain. Semenyo may carry the ball ahead a bit extra often, however Guessand has nonetheless proven himself to be an efficient, pacy dribbler.

In fact, the Premier League brings the next degree of competitors, and no mistake. Besides, Guessand has the standard to offer an identical type of presence for the Lilywhites, and he is far cheaper at that.

Semenyo’s haul of 13 targets and 7 assists for the Cherries final time period highlights his rising prolificness, and his skill to keep up medical ranges within the Premier League, however he additionally received a whopping 6.1 duels per sport, as per Sofascore, emphasising his tenacity and dynamic nature as he shifted from proper wing to left.

Guessand may emulate this. Or, a minimum of, present Frank with the kind of profile he so craves on the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Ivory Coast worldwide recorded a median of 5.5 duels and 1.3 tackles per Ligue 1 match in 2024/25.

Provided that Levy and Spurs’ knowledge analysts have invested a lot time into profiling a large ahead of Mbeumo or Semenyo’s nature, does it not make sense to forge forward with a transfer for Guessand? If Soccer Insider are to be believed, the Londoners at the moment are poised to finish the deal, ought to they want to pursue it.

Look, there is no denying that Semenyo is an actual expertise, however £70m? No probability. Premier League tax has been effectively and really levied there.

When Guessand’s there, obtainable and less expensive in addition to, it is certainly a no brainer for a supervisor reminiscent of Frank, who has proved time and time once more on the Gtech Stadium his aptitude for purchasing within the switch market.
