Tottenham Hotspur are seemingly scrambling to get some attackers through the door before the transfer window slams shut on Monday, and they have now turned their attention to two experienced Premier League stars.
It has been widely reported that Spurs want to sign a number 10 and a winger before the transfer deadline, but Daniel Levy is quickly running out of time to deliver those signings.
If reports over recent days are to be believed, Tottenham are now launching enquiries for attackers across Europe, which may not come across to Spurs fans as a coherent transfer strategy.
It has now emerged that the Lilywhites have added two more Premier League stars to their ever-growing list of targets.
Fabrizio Romano claims Spurs are interested in Paqueta and Semenyo
This week, we have heard reports that Tottenham have turned their attention to Lucas Paqueta, who is looking for an exit route from West Ham.
This has now been confirmed by Fabrizio Romano in his latest YouTube video, where he says that over the last 24 to 48 hours, Spurs have made some calls to understand the situations of other potential targets.
One of those is Paqueta, who has now been cleared of the spot-fixing charges that have been hanging over him for the past year.
MORE SPURS STORIES
Romano reveals that Tottenham have now also enquired about a late move for Antoine Semenyo, but he admits that it is going to be difficult to get the winger out of Bournemouth at this stage of the transfer window.
He said: “Tottenham also made some calls for other players. They wanted to understand the situation of Lucas Paqueta at West Ham. Also a player they appreciate and they know very well, and was already a target, but now obviously is late in the market so it’s going to be difficult is Semenyo at Bournemouth – another name mentioned internally at Tottenham in the last 24 hours.”
Fabrizio Romano makes a prediction about Spurs’ transfer activity
While Tottenham fans are understandably becoming increasingly worried about the lack of new signings, Romano makes a prediction that will reassure the supporters.
He goes on to say in the video that Spurs will soon make ‘final decisions’ on the players they are tracking, and it will be time for them to ‘attack’ them.
Romano then adds: “Tottenham will be busy in the market. It is not over at all. They are optimistic about finding solutions. For sure, Tottenham’s movements are going to be one to watch in the final days of this crazy window.”
