The Marseille man could be a useful addition to the Tottenham Hotspur squad this summer.
Spurs striker Vincent Janssen has endured a torrid time in north London, following his move from AZ Alkmaar last summer, and despite Mauricio Pochettino’s willingness to give the Dutchman more time, he is surely approaching the last chance saloon with Tottenham.
With L’Equipe claiming that Marseille are interested in signing the 23-year-old this summer, however, the Lilywhites could very well be presented with a fantastic opportunity to get shot of Janssen, and should consider demanding Lucas Ocampos as part of any kind of potential deal.
Marseille’s Lucas Ocampos in action
The Argentine ace is a versatile attacker, and can play anywhere along the front-line, which would make him ideal cover for not only Harry Kane, but also the likes of Erik Lamela, Christian Eriksen and Son Heung-min in the wide attacking areas.
He possesses pace in abundance, and plays with a certain guile and nouse that would surely help Tottenham improve upon the potency of their attacking play in the final third.
Another string to Ocampos’ bow is the fact that he is equally as strong with both feet, which makes him difficult and unpredictable to defend against.
The Marseille forward is not the most prolific of forwards, however, so Spurs fans should not get their hopes up regarding his potential in front of goal, but it is his overall game, and the manner in which he links up play that is the most impressive facet of his play.
And whatever happens, the 23-year-old would surely have more of a positive impact on the Tottenham side than Janssen has over the past 12 months.
