Seven Strikers Tottenham Could Pair With Kane
Bafétimbi Gomis (29) – Swansea City | €8m
Playing in Ligue 1, Bafétimbi Gomis was a force to be reckoned with.
Gomis would only play for two French football clubs, Saint-Étienne and Olympique Lyon, but in those two clubs, he showed the world what kind of a talent that he is.
Bafétimbi Gomis spent a decade racking up games, goals and assists.
Coming up through Saint-Étienne’s youth academy and making the first team in 2003, he would stay for six years and make a name for himself. What came next, would be even better when he transferred to Olympique Lyon

In five seasons, his form with rival club Olympique Lyon saw him play in more games, score more goals and have more assists.
It should be fitting to say that he was one of the best French strikers and Ligue 1 players during his time over there even if he has a history of fainting due to a vasovagal response.
Saint-Étienne: 154 games, 47 goals and 17 assists
Olympique Lyon: 243 games, 94 goals and 23 assists
His transfer to Swansea City was a success as well. If he moves to another Premier League club, a repeat of his time spent with Lyon could potentially happen.
