Tottenham are interested in FC Midtjylland striker Franculino Dju, with Arsenal and Barcelona are also keen on the attacker.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via Sport Witness, Tottenham are showing serious interest in FC Midtjylland striker Franculino Dju. Spurs are in the market for a new centre-forward to add to their attacking setup. Arsenal and Barcelona are also monitoring his situation, but Tottenham could have a chance to sign him.
FC Midtjylland has a big talent on their hands, after signing Franculino Dju in the summer from Benfica. The attacker has flourished with the Danish side, with 22 goals and assists so far this season, which has attracted interest from elsewhere.
The striker was watched by Leeds United and West Ham, which could pave the way for the 22-goal star to make a switch to the Premier League. However, there’s reported interest from Roma, who have been monitoring his displays for the last six months, and are ready to make a move in January, as Gian Piero Gasperini wants a new striker in his ranks.
However, FC Midtjylland’s €30 million demand could have pushed Roma away, which has allowed Tottenham to take the front seat in the hunt. The north Londoners are planning on signing a new striker and winger in January, as they are now looking at Franculino Dju in the winter window.
They have a few names on their list, including Samu Aghehowa, as Thomas Frank wants someone young to develop at the club for the long run. Hence, they might be willing to pay up for someone like the FC Midtjylland star in January, if a move is possible,
Does Franculino Dju have more suitors?
As per Campo, Franculino Dju also has Arsenal and Barcelona as admirers, which could complicate Tottenham’s chase of the forward. The two teams are not particularly desperate for a new striker at the moment, which could allow Spurs to make their move, although West Ham United are also keen.
Whether Fanculino Dju is keen on a switch to Spurs remains to be seen, although the lure of Champions League football as well as playing in the Premier League could tempt the forward. Much will depend on whether Spurs are ready to pay what’s necessary for FC Midtjylland, with the Danish club not keen on letting him leave just yet.
