Tottenham Hotspur is looking to sign Ian Subiabre from River Plate at the end of the season.
According to a report from El Transigente, Tottenham is ‘accelerating’ their pursuit of the talented young attacker.
Ian Subiabre will cost a premium
Subiabre is one of the most highly rated gems of Argentine football right now, and River Plate will not let him leave easily. They are demanding a ‘shocking price’ of €100 million for the attacker. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham is willing to pay that kind of money.
Clubs from Germany have also made enquiries about the young attacker. Subiabre’s representatives are open to the possibility of leaving River Plate in the summer, and they would have no problems negotiating if a proposal meets the club’s demands.
It remains to be seen whether Tottenham is prepared to make a serious offer for the talented young attacker.
Subiabre is a promising talent
They need more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and the 19-year-old would be a long-term acquisition for them. He can operate on either flank, and he will add goals and creativity to the team. Subiabre has six goal contributions in all competitions.
Even though the asking price is quite high, the player has the potential to justify the investment in future. He has all the attributes to develop into a star in the long-term. The opportunity to play in the Premier League will be exciting for him. Regular exposure to English football will accelerate his development and help him fulfil his potential. Tottenham are looking to build a team for the future, and investing in one of the best young South American players would be a step in the right direction.
However, they need to improve multiple areas of the squad and investing €100 million in the Argentine prodigy might be difficult.
