Tottenham Hotspur are now in contact to sign a £70m Premier League "superstar", who is keen to leave his club this summer, transfer expert Graeme Bailey has revealed.
Spurs set sights on new forward
It appears as though Son Heung-min is set to remain at N17 for at least one more season, although former scout Mick Brown has suggested Tottenham could look at replacing the forward in the near future, given that he is no longer the player he once was.
Brown said: "You look at his stats last year, they were nowhere near as good as they were the year before, but you know what type of player you’re getting.
"With just one year left on his contract, there’s more value in keeping him for a Champions League and Premier League campaign rather than selling him now. You don’t really want to lose that type of player and what Sonny can offer you."
Consequently, it may be time for Thomas Frank to start running the rule over potential long-term replacements for Son, and Southampton's Tyler Dibling has recently been identified as a potential option.
However, Spurs are also targeting a current Premier League player, according to Bailey, who recently told The Boot Room: “Alejandro Garnacho wants to stay in England, and there are only so many options. Chelsea, we know, like him, whilst Tottenham have maintained contact."
There may also be rival interest from Aston Villa, with Unai Emery's side making contact over Garnacho, who is valued at around £70m, and Bailey states the winger would be open to a move to Villa Park.
One thing that is clear is that the Man United forward is likely to be on the move this summer, having already informed his current employers that he wants to leave.
"Superstar" Garnacho could reignite career at Tottenham
At 21-years-old, the United ace is still very young, with plenty of time to fulfill his lofty potential, and journalist Liam Canning believes the youngster is already a "superstar".
The 2024-25 season was, of course, very difficult for the Red Devils, with Spurs ultimately coming out on top in the Europa League final, but the Argentina international still managed to impress at times, amassing 21 goal contributions in all competitions.
Ruben Amorim was also left impressed by the starlet, praising him for his performance in the 1-1 draw against Arsenal: "I think Garnacho made a really complete game. He was upset last Thursday and today, he was amazing."
As such, United's loss could be Tottenham's gain this summer, and Garnacho's ability to play on the left-wing could make him a solid long-term replacement for Son.
