Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to sign the Villarreal striker Georges Mikautadze.
The Georgian International joined the Spanish club during the summer transfer window. They paid €30 million for him, but they would be willing to sanction his departure in January if an offer of around €50 million is presented.
Spurs want to sign Georges Mikautadze
According to Fichajes, Tottenham are preparing to offer close to €50 million for the attacker. They are in desperate need of a quality forward, and the 25-year-old could be ideal for them. He can operate as a centre-forward as well as a left-sided attacker. He could be the ideal replacement for Son Heung-min.
Tottenham have missed a dynamic attacker like the South Korean who can take on defenders and score goals consistently. The Georgian could be the ideal acquisition for them. He is young enough to improve further, and he has the technical attributes to do well in the Premier League.
His former manager Emilio Ferrera has described him as “a phenomenon” (h/t Telegrafi).
“He can score in all possible ways: in a moment, after a dribble, with a shot from distance, with the left, with the right… just not with his head”.
Mikautadze could be tempted
The opportunity to move to England could be a tempting one for the player. It would be a major platform for him, and he will look to prove himself at the highest level. However, leaving the Spanish club after just a few months would be quite surprising.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few weeks. Tottenham need a quality attacker if they want to transform their season. They have lost their way to an extent after an impressive start. They need quality players to turn things around.
