Tottenham Hotspur could reportedly try to sign Genoa star Albert Gudmundsson in a swap deal this summer, according to the Italian outlet. Calciomercato.
After selling Harry Kane to Bayern Munich last summer, the Lilywhites have not opted to sign a new center forward to replace the Englishman. Son Heung-Min and Richarlison have filled that role this season and the duo have done quite well, but it appears the north London club are planning to sign a new striker in the next window.
Numerous names have been mentioned as potential targets, including Ivan Toney, Santiago Giménez and Mohamed Amoura, but Gudmundsson is also reportedly on their radar.
According to the report of CalciomercatoTottenham will meet with Genoa to discuss the future of Djed Spence, who is currently on loan at the Italian club and has the option to sign the full-back permanently in a £9million deal.
The report further claims that Spurs are interested in Gudmundsson and could speak to Genoa about the Iceland international during the meeting.
Gudmundsson to Tottenham
Calciomercato claims Genoa do not want to let their star man leave for less than £30m and the Lilywhites could include Spence in a part-exchange deal to reduce the asking price.
However, the report says that Juventus and Inter Milan are also interested in signing him, but it is unlikely that they will be able to match Genoa's asking price so that Tottenham can sign Gudmundsson this summer.
Gudmundsson has attracted a lot of attention from several big clubs in Europe after enjoying a productive campaign in the Italian top flight this season.
The 26-year-old is a talented player and can play anywhere on the front line. He is quick, can finish off chances, has the efficiency to create chances for his attacking teammates and also works very hard out of possession.
So, Gudmundsson could be a perfect option for Tottenham to play in Ange Postecoglou's system if they buy him. However, it will be interesting to see if the north London club ultimately opt to sign the striker to strengthen their front line in the next window.
