On March 20th, Sky Deutschland journalist Florian Plettenberg stated Tottenham Hotspur have asked about Red Bull Salzburg’s Noah Okafor.
It was also explained that the forward wants to take the next step in his career after this season. Fast forward to April and today’s Salzburger Nachrichten have a report on the Austrian champions’ plans for the summer window.
Tottenham’s interest in the 22-year-old is highlighted as they have joined Inter Milan and AC Milan in the race to secure his services.
Red Bull Salzburg sporting director Christoph Freund can already plan to raise millions and the first candidate to help him in this regard is the Switzerland international.
Okafor has impressed this season, scoring 10 goals and registered five assists from 30 matches in all competitions. He has a contract until 2024 and is valued at €22m.
The Swiss attacker has been with the Austrian champions for over three years and from this point of view, the newspaper explains his transfer is ‘highly likely’ in the next window.
Tottenham have Harry Kane as the main striker, but his future beyond this season is uncertain. They could sign Okafor if they decide to part ways with their star in the summer.
