Tottenham are interested in Mehdi Taremi as they try to fill the void which Kane left behind. Tottenham Hotspur are currently flying high. But with the transfer window closing next week. There’s still scope to bring in more players coming in.
Spurs are yet to bring in a replacement for Harry Kane so far. Even though goals have come in from elsewhere, they could yet consider another centre-forward this summer window itself.
Calciomercato has now rekindled speculation regarding a player Tottenham have reportedly been eyeing since few years back.
Mehdi Taremi could be the perfect replacement for Tottenham
The Italian outlet claims Spurs could potentially make a late approach. That is ofcourse for Porto striker Mehdi Taremi.
Apparently, there’s still a track to England open for the 31-year-old. Who has suitors in the Premier League and particularly fromTottenham.
However, there is one potential stumbling block for Spurs. Apparently, because Porto only own 85 percent of his rights. They want to secure as big a fee as possible. This is to maximise the amount on their end.
They are reportedly demanding €25-30million (£21.5-25.8million). A figure that nobody has reached yet so far. For instance, AC Milan have apparently offered €15million plus bonuses for the 31 year old.
Tottenham could certainly do with bolstering their centre-forward options. This is with Richarlison struggling to score. And Alejo Veliz looks more like one for the future.
Last season, Mehdi Taremi registered 31 goals and 14 assists in 51 games for Porto. That’s almost one goal contribution every match.
However, Tottenham surely won’t want to pay over the odds for the striker. He is well in his 30s with no prior Premier League experience.
With that in mind, Spurs would likely look to talk Porto down on their valuation for the striker. But based on the above report, they may not be too flexible.
