Time is running out for Tottenham Hotspur to make a splash in the transfer window.
Tottenham Hotspur are running out of time to make a splash before the transfer window closing.
They are reported to be attempting to sign Jack Grealish, but this is a move which feels a little underwhelming at a time the club are moving into a new £800 million plus stadium.
Spurs should throw caution to the wind before the deadline and make a big move for Ajax winger David Neres.
The Brazilian has been reported to be on Tottenham’s radar since the end of 2017, with Calciomercato claiming their interest.
Neres has been subject of speculated late interest from Roma but Corriere dello Sport report Roma have been put off by Ajax’s £45 million asking price.
This keeps the door open for Spurs to make an offer of their own, if they want to.
£45 million would break the transfer record Spurs paid for Davinson Sanchez last summer, but it is also the going rate for a talented Brazilian attacker, as shown with Everton’s big money move for Richarlison.
Neres scored 14 times for Ajax last season and provided 11 assists and at just 21-years-old he has scope to raise his game another few levels.
It would be a brave move from Spurs, and that’s exactly what fans have been demanding.
