Fabio Paratici needs to make move to sign £30m midfielder, he could be amazing at Tottenham – opinion
Tottenham Hotspur transfer guru Fabio Paratici needs to make a move to sign World Cup star Mohammed Kudus in January – he could be amazing under Antonio Conte.
Spurs struggled with injuries before the World Cup break and Conte was left alarmingly short up-front.
Richarlison, Dejan Kulusevski and Heung-Min were all sidelined at one point, highlighting the need for Tottenham to bring in one more attacking player.
has suggested that Ajax midfielder Kudus has emerged as a target for Conte. The outlet claims that the north Londoners could even accelerate their bid for the 22-year-old in an attempt to keep their boss happy.
And in our view, this is a move Paratici should certainly be lining up ahead of the January transfer window.
Paratici needs to sign Kudus
Kudus starred for Ghana during the World Cup and managed to bag two goals in three appearances before exiting the tournament in the group stage.
The youngster netted a brace against South Korea, while he also caught the eye in Ghana’s defeats against Portugal and Uruguay.
He’s been in devastating form for Ajax this season too as he’s netted ten goals and provided two assists in 21 appearances for the Dutch champions.
But it’s Kudus’ Champions League displays that have shown he is ready for a big move. He scored a screamer against Liverpool at Anfield, while he was also on target against the in-from Napoli.
reports that Tottenham will be in the market for ‘quality’ cover for Kulusevski after his absence seriously affected their form before the World Cup.
While Kudus will be aiming to be more than just a back-up option for the Swedish winger, he could be a brilliant addition to Conte’s squad.
The Ghanaian star is naturally an attacking-midfielder, but he’s been really impressive for Ajax this season while playing off the right-hand side.
He’s also shown he is capable of playing in deeper roles in midfield, while he’s even operated as a striker during his time in Amsterdam.
Kudus may find it tough to break into Tottenham’s front-three, but he would certainly get opportunities in Conte’s starting line-up thanks to his versatility.
Spurs are lacking a player like Kudus, he’s someone who can pick up the ball and drive at opposition defenders. In our view, the youngster would thrive under Conte and he’s exactly the type of attacking option Tottenham are lacking right now.
With Ajax set to demand around for Kudus, it seems like a no-brainer from Tottenham’s point of view.
