Reported £15m Tottenham target has completed more dribbles than Son and Lucas combined

Tottenham Hotspur completed the signing of Steven Bergwijn in January and early signs show real promise.

The Dutchman got injured after just seven appearances, but Tottenham fans expect him to have a big campaign next season.

Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura were moved up front by Mourinho due to Harry Kane’s injury but now that the Englishman is back, it will be interesting to see Tottenham’s best eleven.

Kane and Son are almost guaranteed to start regularly which leaves the right-wing position open for either Bergwijn or Lucas.

However, Lucas’s Tottenham’s career has been underwhelming apart from a few brilliant individual performances.

Bergwijn might still need time settle in considering he has only played five times in the Premier League.

Another injury to Kane will again force Mourinho to deploy one of his wide players up front which makes the need for another attacker huge this summer.

However, Tottenham’s transfer budget will reportedly be slashed with Mourinho confirming that he is ‘not going to spend rivers of money’ in the next window. (iNews)

That means Spurs should be sensible this summer and look for bargain deals. One such player who can come in for cheap is Jeremie Boga, who Tottenham are reportedly interested in. (Calcio Mercato)

£15 million for Boga would be a steal

The Express has claimed that the former Chelsea man will be available for as little as £15 million this summer, which should fall comfortably within Tottenham’s budget.

Boga has had an impressive season for Sassuolo. The 23-year-old’s dribbling skill is perfect for Mourinho’s counter-attacking system.

To put that into perspective, Boga has completed more than twice as many dribbles as Son (49) and Lucas (52) combined, which is an impressive record considering how good the Tottenham duo are at taking players on. (Opta via AS)

If his £15 million price-tag is no issue for Mourinho’s side, they shouldn’t really have any concerns over signing the young Ivorian this summer. By doing so, Spurs fans can also get some bragging rights over Chelsea, who let him go not too long ago.
