Tottenham in talks to sign Santiago Giménez this summer
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly been in negotiations with Feyenoord over a deal to sign Santiago Giménez this summer, according to the transfer journalist Rudy Galetti.
After moving to the De Kuip Stadium from Mexican side Cruz Azul in 2022, the striker enjoyed a promising debut campaign in the Eredivisie last season, helping his team win the title after six years.
The 22-year-old has also continued his impressive performances this season, scoring 21 goals and registering five assists in 28 league appearances.
So it seems that the Mexican's eye-catching performances in the Dutch top flight have not gone unnoticed, as he has already started to attract a lot of attention ahead of the summer window, with Tottenham among those who have shown interest.

“Tottenham is looking for a new ST to reinforce the attack. Santiago Giménez seems to be the priority: contacts with Feyenoord have been going on for weeks. Gudmundsson, followed strongly by Inter, remains a concrete option in case an agreement is not reached with the Mexican.”

So Spurs will have to spend big money to lure him to the newly renovated White Hart Lane.
Gimenez is a talented player and has already shown flashes of his qualities in the Dutch top flight in recent times, so he could be a shrewd signing for Tottenham to bolster their front line if they buy him.
However, it is highly unlikely that the north London club will go ahead to sign the Mexican if Feyenoord hold firm to their inflated valuation.
