Five players Tottenham should buy for next season
By Gary Pearson
1. Raul Jimenez — Wolves
Much of Wolves success is due to the vaunted play of Raul Jimenez. The Mexican has taken the league by storm, putting everyone on notice. He’d make a massive difference to Spurs, infiltrating the first team immediately.
He’d feed off Son Heung-Min and Dele Alli’s creativity, while offering top calibre support for Harry Kane. Signing Jimenez would also show Kane that Spurs mean business and are ready to match the Englishman’s ambitions. He is worth a reported £45 million, an investment worth every penny. Jimenez thrives in a front role but could assert himself well playing in support of Kane, in a number 9 role. The Mexican is 28 years old and has 13 goals to go along with six assists during the current campaign.
He won’t be easy to pry away from Wolves, especially considering what a revelation he’s been this season. But a lucrative move to Spurs will be hard for Jimenez to turn a blind eye to. Numerous other teams will also be vying to secure the asset’s signature.
