Tottenham in 'talks' with Genoa to sign Albert Gudmundsson
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly in “dialogue” with Genoa over a deal to sign Albert Gudmundsson this summer, according to a recent report.
Following a promising campaign in Ange Postecoglou's debut as manager, the Lilywhites are said to be interested in strengthening their squad ahead of next season to continue the rebuild. They reportedly plan to strengthen their defense and midfield, but signing a new striker is also on their wish list.
After letting Harry Kane leave the club last summer, Spurs decided to continue without signing a replacement for the Englishman. Son Heung-Min was primarily used as a centre-forward last season, but Richarlison also played that role when he was available. However, it appears that Postecoglou is looking to sign a new striker ahead of next season to finally replace Kane.
Ivan Toney, Santiago Giménez and Dominic Solanke have all been mentioned as potential options, but Gudmundsson is also reportedly on their radar.
Gudmundsson to Tottenham
According to the report of The XIX century (through TUTTOmercatoWEB), Tottenham have started talks with Genoa about the departure of Djed Spence, who was on loan at the Italian club last season.
The report further claims that Spurs could speak to Genoa about a potential deal to sign Gudmundsson as they are interested in signing him with the Iceland international available for a fee of around £30m.
However,The Italian media says that Inter Milan are interested in the 26-year-old player and, in addition, some others first division The clubs have also expressed their interest in signing him. The north London club is therefore likely to face stiff competition from rivals to secure any potential deal for him.
Gudmundsson has been attracting the attention of several big clubs in Europe following a promising campaign in Serie A last season, scoring 14 goals and registering four assists in 35 appearances.
The striker is a talented player and could be a shrewd signing for Tottenham if they buy him. However, it will be interesting to see if they finally choose to get his signature to reinforce his first line.
