Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing up new strikers and are understood to be keen on Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.
Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic is believed to be on Tottenham Hotspur’s radar if they move for a new striker.
That is according to 90Min, who claim that Tottenham have Mitrovic on their radar for a summer transfer.
It’s stated that Fulham want around £50million for Mitrovic, who has been chasing a move to Saudi Arabia this summer.
Al Hilal only offered around £30million this summer but their interest turned Mitrovic’s head.
The Serbian still fancies moving on from Fulham and Tottenham are at least eyeing him up.
This would of course depend on Harry Kane leaving the club with Bayern Munich still chasing the Spurs hero.
Tottenham will be planning for a future with Kane but having targets in mind in case he leaves isn’t a bad idea.
Mitrovic will be one of them as his strong Premier League campaign last season, hitting 14 goals in 24 games, has put him on the Tottenham wish list.
The former Newcastle United hitman has been hailed as ‘unbelievable’ by Marco Silva and it’s no surprise that Fulham are fighting to keep him.
Ange Postecoglou loves a target man amid Aleksandar Mitrovic interest
Tottenham’s push for intricate attacking football under Ange Postecoglou may leave some wondering if a physical, burly front man like Mitrovic fits in.
Yet if you look at Postecoglou’s Celtic squad, there was always a target man in the mix.
Giorgos Giakoumakis arrived in Postecoglou’s first transfer window, presenting a physical battering ram forward in attack, a complete change from Kyogo Furuhashi.
When Giakoumakis was sold to Atlanta United in January, Celtic moved to land 6ft 2in South Korean forward Oh Hyeon-gyu.
Postecoglou likes having that physical option up top but Tottenham have just brought in a player of that mould in Alejo Veliz.
The Argentinian is still raw but may be viewed as a player who can play that role for Postecoglou moving forward.
A key factor is pressing ability, something that Mitrovic has shown at times but maybe not to the level Postecoglou would be seeking.
We can’t really see Tottenham investing big money in a 28-year-old Mitrovic at this point, but maybe he is a name to keep an eye on.
