Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Rennes striker Arnaud Kalimuendo during the summer transfer window.
The 23-year-old has done quite well in Ligue 1, and Tottenham are hoping to bring him to the Premier League. He scored 18 goals for the French outfit last season and picked up four assists as well.
According to a report from Ouest France, Tottenham are among the ‘hottest candidates’ to sign the French attacker, and the player has already ‘held talks’ with them regarding a summer move. It remains to be seen whether they can secure an agreement with his club.
Spurs need attackers
There is no doubt that they need a quality striker to support Dominic Solanke, and Kalimuendo could be the ideal acquisition. He has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in England. He will help share the goalscoring burden with the England international and help creatively as well.
Joining Tottenham would be a major step in Kalimuendo’s career, and he will look to prove himself at the highest level. Regular football in England could bring out the best in him and help him fulfil his tremendous potential.
Tottenham need Arnaud Kalimuendo
Tottenham are lacking in depth in the attacking unit, and signing Kalimuendo would make a lot of sense. He is a young player with a bright future, and he could be available for a reasonable amount of money as well. The report from France claims that Rennes are hoping to earn over €30 million.
Tottenham have the finances to get the deal across the line, and the player could justify the investment as well. The deal could look like a major bargain in the long run if he manages to adapt to English football quickly.
It will be interesting to see if Spurs follow up on their discussions with an official proposal to sign the player now.
