Giovanni Simeone is being linked to Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham Hotspur fans have reacted on Twitter to possibly signing Giovanni Simeone.
Tuttosport have reported that Tottenham are interested in signing the Fiorentina hitman, who has 13 goals this season – including a hat-trick against Napoli at the weekend.
Spurs desperately need a prolific plan-b option to Harry Kane after Fernando Llorente failed to prove himself as much of an upgrade on Vincent Janssen.
And all the signs are pointing toward the Argentine forward – who is son of Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone – but fans of the North London side have offered a mixed reaction it must be said.
The 22-year-old distanced himself from rumours about leaving Fiorentina today, telling Calciomercato: “I am happy in Florence, I like the city and I love Fiorentina fans.”
Simeone has another four years to go on his contract in Florence and therefore could cost significantly more than both Janssen and Llorente – who fetched a combined £29 million.
According to CIES Football Observatory, the South American marksman is already valued at around £30 million.
