Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United had both recently been in contact with representatives of Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez, TBR Football can exclusively reveal.
Tottenham and West Ham are both on the hunt for a striker this month, and Gimenez’s form for Feyenoord has continued to attract attention across Euroꦚpe🅷.
The Mexico international has now netted 15 goals in 18 appearances across all competitions this season, including two strikes against Bayern Munich in the Champions League t𓂃his week.
Unfortunately for both London 𓆏clubs, it see🦂ms as if Gimenez is instead set for a move to Italy, a move that almost materialised in the summer.
Santiago Gimenez close to AC Milan move despite Premier League interest
TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey understands that AC Milan are closing in on a deal for Gimenez, despite enquiries 🅰from a nu🧸mber of Premier League clubs in the last week.
Gimenez 🔴has long been linked with a move to England, and a move to Nottingham Forest actually fell through for the striker lasꦫt season.

Now, h𝓡aving failed to progress with a deal for Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford, Milan have turned their ♑attention to the Feyernood goalscorer.
Like Forest, Milan also tried to sign Gimenez last summer, 🦩but🦋 the deal didn’t progress.
After the window closed, Gimenez admitted: “They sent an offer to Feyenoord, bಞut 🥃no chance. It would be a dream to join Milan, one of the biggest clubs in the world!”
The striker now looks on track to head to the San Siro, but TBR understands that Tottenham and West Ham have had co🦩mmunication with the player’s camp.
As it stands – Milan are confident of completing a deal for Gimenez, which wꦿill be worth around €40m (£34m).
Tottenham and West Ham both hunting for a new striker
TBR exclusively revealed that West Ham had failed in a bid for Jhon Duran in recent week⛦s, who t🍸he club have long wanted to bring to the London Stadium.
On Tottenham’s part, the club were making solid efforts to sign Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain thꩵis month.
Tottenham wanted Kolo Muani but the striker is now set for a move to the Serie A alongside Gimenez, making🐟 his own move to Juventus.
Of course, Spurs have now lost Dominic Solanke to injury, aft🧜er just recovering Richarlison from his own issue.
It’ll be an interesting week or so ahead for both London clubs, who are aware of the need to strengthen their respective squads to salvage a respectabl🔯e Premier League finish.
