GiveMeSport have said that while Tottenham Hotspur remain keen on signing Santiago Gimenez, the striker now looks more likely to leave Feyenoord at the end of the season rather than in January.

Gimenez has posted some ridiculous numbers in front of goal since the start of 2023 and multiple outlets over the last couple of months have suggested that Tottenham’s scouts have been quite impressed with the 22-year-old (The Daily Mirror).

It was even asserted by Todofichajes on December 11 that Spurs are now in ‘very advanced negotiations’ with the Eredivisie side for the Mexican international.

However, Journalist Pete O’Rourke revealed in his column on Football Insider last week that the Lilywhites had received a blow in their pursuit of the striker as Feyenoord had slapped a £60m price tag on the player.

January deal unlikely for Santiago Gimenez

GiveMeSport have now alleged that Tottenham have continued to track Gimenez closely over the last few weeks as they assess a potential future offer for the player.

The report states that the North London club feel that the Feyenoord striker ‘has strong credentials’ to fill Harry Kane’s shoes at N17.

However, the outlet adds that the feeling at the moment is that Gimenez is more likely to leave De Kuip next summer rather than mid-season.

Spurs Web Opinion 

I think it will suit Tottenham quite well if Feyenoord decide to push Gimenez’s sale until next summer.  Signing a number nine is evidently not a priority for Postecoglou in January and the Australian will perhaps want to wait until the end of the season to take a call on Richarlison’s Spurs future.
