Report: Tottenham set sights on £17m striker with better goal conversion rate than Kane
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly set ✃their sights on Reims ace Hugo Ekitike.
claims 🎃Spurs are one of several clubs planning approaches for the 19-year-old.
As well as Tottenham, th𝐆e likes of Arsenal, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are app🌜arently eyeing Ekitike.
🌞The Reims ace has been in impressive form this🥀 season.
ꩵHe has regඣistered 10 goals and four assists in 24 appearances in all competitions.
Ekitike also boasts an incredible goal conversion rat🎀e – 32.1 percent ().
By comparison, Sp🦹urs star Harry Kane has ✅a 12.8 percent conversion rate ().
Calciomercato.it claims Ekitike boasts a price tag of 20m euro, or around £17mꦕillion.
“He’s got amazing talent”
Tottenham currently b♌oast one of the best strikers in the world in Harry Kane, but could do with a deputy.
Ekitike is a great shout, as he’s a young player who has the makings of a top strike♏r.
He could learn a lot from Kane, not to mention from one of ✃the best coaches in the world in Antonio Conte.
Newcastle tried to land Ekitike in January for an initial £25million, but he decided to staꦅy put where he’s comfortable for 🌼the time being.
French football expert Julien Lauren🐼s offered his view on Ekitike, in January.
“Silly (price tag)▨, it depends because he is really, really good, really tale🎃nted,” said Laurens.
“It☂’s not that he would keep you up or not, because Reim𒁏s want him to be loaned back to Reims for the end of the season anyway, so he would only arrive at Newcastle in the summer.
“Right now, he would not be the saviour. He still needs to learn a lot, this is his first season really with the first 🌞team.
“He was on loan in Scandinavia for the last six months of last season, this is his breakthrough season in Ligue 1, he is s𝄹till really raw.
“He’s not ready for an amazing season in the Premier League and 20 goals, fཧor example.
“He needs a bit of time, and yeah, it’s a lot of money for someone that yo🐎u have to give time, that isn’t 🎐going to start every game and score tons of goals straight away.
꧂“He’s tall and 𓄧skinny, he needs to beef up a bit, he needs to be stronger in the challenges and all of that, but he’s got amazing talent.”
In summer, he’ll have more time to assess his opti꧒ons, and Tottenham would ꦡbe a great club for him.
However, Spurs will have a lot of cꦦompetition for Ekitike’s signature.
