Tottenham Hotspur reportedly wanted to sign Rasmus Hojlund before he moved to Manchester United in the summer transfer window.
According to The Athletic, Tottenham Hotspur discussed a potential deal for Rasmus Hojlund before Manchester United signed the striker from Atalanta.
The Red Devils reportedly paid Serie A club Atalanta £72 million in transfer fees for Hojlund.
Tottenham are on the hunt for a new striker in the summer transfer window.
England international Harry Kane has joined Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.
So, Spurs need to replace Kane in the team.
Tottenham Hotspur were right not to sign Rasmus Hojlund before Manchester United move
In our opinion, Tottenham Hotspur were right not to sign Rasmus Hojlund before he moved to Manchester United in the summer transfer window.
Hojlund is only 20 now and is not the finished article.
Yes, United paid £72 million for the 20-year-old Denmark international, but the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners could afford to do that.
United could afford to sign a striker who is still growing and give him time to develop further.
After all, Marcus Rashford is able to play down the middle.
Tottenham need to sign a striker who can make an immediate impact.
True, it is going to be hard for Tottenham to find a suitable replacement for Kane, but they need someone who is better, more experienced and more developed than Hojlund.
Hojlund scored nine goals and gave two assists in 20 Serie A starts for Atalanta last season.
