Ange Postecoglou’s side are not short of attacking options as they have Son Heung-Min, Brennan Johnson, James Maddison, Richarlison, Timo Werner, Dominic Solanke and Mathys Tel. However, the quality up front is telling.

Spurs are currently 16th on the English Premier League table in what has been a dreadful season, even by their own standards. Their only chance of salvaging anything this season is in the UEFA Europa League, where they take on Boniface’s former side, Bodo/Glimt, in the semi-final.

As per the Boy Hotspur, Tottenham are aware of Boniface’s willingness to exit the Bay Arena after he was on their shortlist about a year ago before they signed Solanke from Bournemouth. It is believed that Boniface will be willing to walk the moment Xabi Alonso leaves Leverkusen.

The eight-time FA Cup winners face stiff competition for Boniface as West Ham United are also monitoring the services of the 24-year-old forward.

Should Victor Boniface join Tottenham Hotspur?

If he wants to win trophies? Maybe not. Spurs have barely had any success in nearly two decades of top-flight football, with their last trophy coming in the 2007/2008 season when they won the Carabao Cup.

The opportunity to move to the Premier League might be exciting for the former Union Saint-Gilloise striker as he’s entering the peak years of his career, but he’s made it clear he does not want to play in England; instead, a move to Spain appeals more to Boniface.

Additionally, he’ll only be at the London Stadium to provide competition for Solanke, not to become an outright starter.

Boniface’s potential move to the Saudi Pro League collapsed during the winter transfer window, hinting that if the financial package is right, he might move to the Premier League after all.

Still, it’ll be interesting to see where the goalscorer winds up when he decides to wrap up his spell in the German Bundesliga.

English Premier League side, Tottenham Hotspur, are keeping tabs on Napoli and Super Eagles striker, Victor James Osimhen, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 25-year-old striker scored 15 goals and provided three assists in 22 starts for Napoli in the league last season, off the back of a successful 2022/2023 season where he won the Golden Boot and lifted the Serie A title with the Italian club.

The former LOSC Lille forward agreed personal terms with Paris Saint-Germain, but a transfer could not materialize as the Parisians were unable to pay his release clause. Chelsea and Arsenal are also interested in the services of the Nigerian forward and are on the lookout for a possible reduction in Napoli’s asking price.

According to Football Insider, Tottenham Hotspur coach, Ange Postecoglu, is obsessed with signing a new striker this season and is keeping an eye out for Victor Osimhen.

The North-London side are prepared to include their players in a deal for the Nigerian, as they’re keen to fix their goalscoring problems up-front.

Son Heung-Min was the team’s top scorer in the league last year with 17 goals, highlighting the clinical presence Spurs missed upfront following Harry Kane’s bumper move to Bayern Munich last summer.

The Napoli striker is a proven A-list striker and goalscorer who has shown his quality at the highest level, and he’s believed to be a proper solution for Tottenham. He’ll also relieve the ageing Son of the goalscoring duties after the South Korean turned 32 earlier this month.

Outside of Osimhen, Tottenham have been linked with a move for Lille striker, Jonathan David and it is believed that he would be allowed to leave for a fee as low as around £20 million.

Since joining Napoli from Lille in 2020 Osimhen has established himself as one of the world’s best strikers, scoring an impressive 76 goals in 133 appearances.

English Premier League side, Tottenham Hotspur, are keen on the services of Italian and Fiorentina wing-back, Michael Kayode, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 19-year-old full-back has been a revelation for the Violas, scoring a goal and providing four assists from a defensive position in 37 games for the Italian side.

After he was released from Juventus academy in 2020, he joined Gozzano and, in July 2021, moved to Fiorentina, spending his first two years in the Primavera squad, where he showed enough to earn a spot in Vincenzo Italiano’s squad for the 2023-24 campaign.

Kayode was born in Italy, has Nigerian roots, and is eligible to play for either country. However, he has represented Italy at the youth level and has made it clear that his future lies away from the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

Soccernet.ng earlier reported that the teenage superstar’s performance had drawn attention from Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal. At the same time, Serie A Champions Inter Milan have identified him as the perfect profile to replace Denzel Dumfries when his contract expires next summer.

According to Italian outlet, Tutto Mercato Web, Ange Postecoglu’s Tottenham Hotspur have also joined the long list of clubs that are interested in Kayode, with Fiorentina valuing the wonderkid at around €40m.

The player is also open to exploring life outside of Fiorentina, as most of the offers on his table are from bigger clubs, none of which are willing to pay Fiorentina’s asking price. The board of the Italian club are set to meet to discuss their evaluation of the player.

Fiorentina have the upper hand in these negotiations, as they have the 19-year-old tied down to a deal that runs until the summer of 2028 at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
