Tottenham Hotspur would really improve if they signed the Real Madrid ace this summer.

Mauricio Pochettino manager

Tottenham have already been very busy in the transfer market this summer.

They have already secured the captures of Tanguy Ndombele and Jack Clarke, but Mauricio Pochettino will undoubtedly be keen to strengthen even further still.

One particular area of the Spurs squad that definitely needs strengthening is their centre-forward department, especially with Fernando Llorente poised to leave the club this summer.

More competition is required for Harry Kane, or even someone who could play alongside the England international.

And with this in mind, Tottenham should make a move for Real Madrid hitman Mariano Diaz.

The 25-year-old rejoined Los Blancos in the summer of 2018 for around €33 million (£30 million), according to BBC Sport, but considering the fact the Zinedine Zidane has already embarked on a huge spending spree this summer, he might be tempted to cash in on the Dominican.

Mariano would be a superb addition for Spurs, and he seems to have all of the attributes needed to succeed in the Premier League.

He is quick off the mark, strong in the challenge and possesses impressive aerial ability.

The pace hitman is also the kind of player who wouldn’t demand to play regularly, considering the fact that he has been used to warming the bench at the Santiago Bernabeu.

If Tottenham could prise him away from Madrid for somewhere around the £30 million mark, it could turn out to be a real coup for them.

With Ndombele and Clarke already on board, and a potential move for Giovani Lo Celso potentially in the pipeline, the signing of someone like Mariano could just be the icing on the cake for Spurs.
