Spurs now monitoring £75m ‘super-fast’ striker who’s scored three goals against Man City this season
Tottenham Hotspur are monitoring RB Leipzig striker Lois Openda, but face having to smash their transfer record if they hope to sign the 23-year-old.
That is according to a report from the (10/12; page 67), which notes that Manchester United are also big admirers of the Belgium international.
Lois Openda has been an outstanding signing for Leipzig. The Sunday Mirror reports that he cost £35 million when he joined from Lens in the summer. And he has since gone on to score 14 goals in 22 games for the German side.
Tottenham monitoring Lois Openda
He has actually scored three times against Manchester City this season. And with that, it seems that there are a couple of sides looking to bring the youngster to the Premier League.
According to the , both Tottenham and Manchester United want Openda. However, his value could now be as high as £75 million.
Spurs will need to break transfer record
United like the look of Openda as they prepare to replace the likes of Anthony Martial and Jason Sancho.
Meanwhile, Tottenham lost Harry Kane right on the eve of the season. And while they signed Brennan Johnson following his departure, they did not exactly bring in a replacement for their former talisman before the deadline.
Spurs would have to be prepared to break their transfer record if they wanted to sign Openda (via ). But there is no question that he would have the potential to be a really exciting signing.
He boasts devastating pace. Philippe Clement described his former Club Brugge starlet as ‘‘. And he can play in either of the wider roles too, so he would be someone Ange Postecoglou can use in a variety of ways.
The price-tag may leave Tottenham fans feeling that a move is unlikely. But with their potential under Postecoglou clear to see, Spurs must surely be tempted to push the boat out in the coming windows.
