According to sources, Tottenham Hotspur may try to give Dominic Solanke fierce competition for a starting position in the upcoming transfer window. The Lilywhites are rumoured to try to sign Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal, their local rivals.
After their loan stints became permanent, Thomas Frank’s team signed players such Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel, but their biggest acquisition of the season was Mohammed Kudus, who was acquired from West Ham United.
Frank might have another secret weapon in the form of former Manchester City star Jesus, in addition to a number of young players who will enhance their roster in the upcoming years in an attempt to maintain their Champions League qualification frequency after winning the Europa League the previous season.
Jesus has been linked to a move away from the Emirates Stadium this summer, but it hasn’t quite worked out for him, according to a report from CaughtOffside.
Spurs are reportedly “keeping tabs” on the £265,000-per-week player in order to strengthen their assault, given the fierce fight for spots at Arsenal right now, according to GiveMeSport.
A new addition German sensation Kai Havertz will serve as his backup after being in mediocre form for the Gunners before his injury in February, while Viktor Gyokeres, who left Sporting following a year-long transfer drama, will surely be their first-choice striker.
Jesus is now “in-demand,” and teams all around Europe have reportedly already contacted him about his skills, making him the third choice.
A move in January is more likely because it is believed that suitors are waiting until he is totally fit to decide whether or not to sign him. However, a quick move to north London this summer has not been ruled out, as the Brazilian is offered Champions League football.
