Tottenham Hotspur are reported to be keen on Borja Iglesias.
Tottenham Hotspur are considering a move for Espanyol ace Borja Iglesias, report El Gol Digital.
Iglesias is reportedly valued at £25 million and is coveted after a strong start in La Liga this season.
He currently has six goals in 11 games, just one fewer strike than Lionel Messi.
Iglesias spoke this week about how happy he was at Espanyol currently, and added that Chelsea legend Didier Drogba was a player he greatly admired.
He told DEIA: “I have noticed many. For example, in players like Drogba, Morientes or Aduriz himself, who I enjoyed watching training when he was in the lower categories of Valencia and the first team.”
Iglesias is well built himself and can play as a target man but added in the interview he views himself as ‘quite mobile’.
The 25-year-old netted 22 goals in 39 games for Real Zaragoza last season on loan in the second division and has continued his strong form in La Liga.
Tottenham forward Fernando Llorente’s contract expires at the end of this season and Iglesias would be a good replacement, even if £25 million sound a bit steep for a player with limited La Liga experience.
