With the European media today sounding more optimistic about Harry Kane’s transfer from Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern Munich, perhaps it’s time for Spurs to go after a new centre-back.
And with the Italian media making huge coverage of the saga lived by Chelsea with Romelu Lukaku, we now get to a point where the two stories collide.
Calciomercato today features a story about the strikers moving in the market, pointing out that Tottenham joined the list of clubs who are going after a new centre-forward.
Besides their interest in Porto’s Mehdi Taremi, for whom they had ‘important conversations’, it’s said they could go after Lukaku as well.
The Chelsea player is claimed to be Daniel Levy’s ‘old passion’, and with him being an ‘unwanted guest’ at Stamford Bridge, this could be the time to get it done.
Tottenham are said to be planning to make an offer for a loan with the right or obligation to buy.
Juventus, who had been in talks with Chelsea for Lukaku for a long time, now see a big threat as the centre-forward could end up staying in London.
