The Sevilla ace could be a useful option for Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino will surely be keen to add an established striker to his ranks this month, with Harry Kane currently out injured, and Heung-Min Son unavailable due to international duty.
Spurs’ have every chance of winning a major trophy this season, but losing Kane and Son could not have come at a worse time for them.
And with this in mind, Tottenham should consider a move for Sevilla marksman Wissam Ben Yedder this month.
The 28-year-old is an established, well-proven striker, having scored 127 goals in 287 career appearances, and he would be an excellent deputy for both Kane and Son during their respective absences.
Fernando Llorente is Pochettino’s only other option through the middle at the moment, and it is clearly evident that the Spaniard is not quite at the elite level that Spurs need in a centre-forward.
And Ben Yedder would provide Poch with an entirely different option in the final third.
The Frenchman possesses real pace over short distances, and is always looking to make penetrating runs in behind the opposition’s defence.
He also has the kind of playing style that would make him ideally suited to play alongside Kane, when the Englishman returns to action.
The Sevilla ace has been in fine form this season, chalking up 16 goals and seven assists in 29 appearances in all competitions this season.
Ben Yedder is already attracting attention from the Premier League, with Football.London reporting that West Ham are interested in signing him this month, although they claim that he will cost a ‘small fortune’.
Quite how much it would take to prise the 28-year-old away from the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium is unclear, but Tottenham should test the La Liga side’s resolve nonetheless.
