Tottenham director Fabio Paratici has been tracking Watford winger Ismaila Sarr, according to Alasdair Gold.
Sarr is currently enjoying a fruitful season in the Championship with Slaven Bilic’s side.
In 18 league games, the Paratici-favourite has an impressive 6 goals and 4 assists.
Ismaila Sarr has always impressed since joining Watford in 2019, with journalist Simon Phillips telling GiveMeSport that Frank Lampard was interested in signing him at Chelsea.
Tottenham most certainly need a brand-new forward to come through the door.
Despite having the likes of Harry Kane, Dejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-min at his disposal, Antonio Conte’s men seem out of ideas in the final third.
Unless Spurs are pressured to create due to being chasing a lead, they seem incapable of creating goalscoring chances at will.
For a side chasing Champions League football next season, that simply isn’t the way to go.
Tottenham director Fabio Paratici is keen tabs on Watford talisman Ismaila Sarr
Journalist Alasdair Gold has claimed in a new report that Tottenham chief Fabio Paratici is “keeping an eye” on Watford forward Ismaila Sarr.
The club are eyeing an attacking player as one out of two of their main transfer priorities in January, which seems to explain the interest in Sarr.
Ismaila Sarr could come in as a competition for Son Heung-min
Last season’s joint-Golden Boot winner in the Premier League, Son Heung-min has a mere 3 goals this season.
With 2 assists to his name as well, the South Korean icon’s form has dropped off a cliff.
Considering Ismaila Sarr is also an incredible 1v1 threat blessed with frightening pace, one can see eye-to-eye with Fabio Paratici when it comes to his vision of bringing him in at Tottenham.
Sarr would presumably be content with being an understudy to Son for the time being, as he would have the chance to play in the Champions League.
