Thomas Frank’s Tottenham are ready to fork out €130 million to sign Jarrod Bowen and Samu Aghehowa to reinforce their attack.
Tottenham have had an impressive start to life under Thomas Frank. While things have clicked for the former Brentford manager at the North London club, he has identified quite a few issues that need to be addressed going forward.
Apart from his midfield, Frank is also keen on reinforcing his attack in order to challenge the best teams in the country. According to a report from Fichajes, Tottenham could end up spending around €130 million to sign Jarrod Bowen and Samu Aghehowa from West Ham United and FC Porto, respectively.
Bowen could cost them around €60 million, while the young Spanish striker’s fee could be around €70 million. The duo’s arrival will strengthen the flanks as well as give Frank more options in the number nine role. One thing is certain: they will add a lot of goals to the North London club’s attack.
Spurs are ready to make two blockbuster signings
Bowen has entered the prime years of his career, and Spurs feel signing him could significantly bolster their attack. Given his Premier League experience, he won’t take long to adjust to life at Tottenham and could help take them to the next level.
While they are ready to pay €60 million, the Hammers are under no pressure to sell with his contract running until 2030. With Dominic Solanke struggling to stay fit since moving to Tottenham from Bournemouth, Frank is keen on having another top-quality striker in his ranks.
The club are looking at Porto’s Samu Aghehowa, who has shown a lot of promise of late. His value has skyrocketed following an impressive season at the Portuguese club, and Spurs are ready to invest €70 million to add him to their squad.
They see him as someone who adds depth in the short term and eventually becomes one of their mainstays. However, signing him won’t be that straightforward, as some of the biggest clubs in the world are after his signature.
Porto will also resist a sale this early in his career, but the finances involved could tempt them. If Spurs manage to land the duo next year, it will be a massive statement of intent from their end.
