Tottenham linked again with Arsenal and other top clubs in transfer target chase
By Manuel Meza
The summer transfer window is getting busy, and Santiago Giménez has caught the attention of several top European clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal. The 23-year-old Mexican striker, who netted 26 goals for Feyenoord last season, is now on the wishlist of many teams aiming to strengthen their attack.
Tottenham, still searching for a replacement for Harry Kane a year after his departure, sees Giménez as a potential solution. According to reports from TuttoJuve, Spurs have listed Giménez alongside Jonathan David and Federico Chiesa as possible targets this transfer window.
Fox Sports MX has confirmed that Giménez is aware of interest from not only Tottenham but also Juventus, AC Milan, Atlético Madrid, RB Leipzig, and Arsenal.
Despite this widespread interest, none of these clubs have made an official offer to Feyenoord for Giménez's services. This lack of formal bids has prompted Giménez's representatives and his father to take a more proactive approach.
They are set to travel to Europe this week to engage in talks with various interested parties in England, Italy, and Spain, including Tottenham Hotspur.

The mission for Giménez's camp is clear: to secure an attractive offer that will persuade Feyenoord to part with their star striker. With the transfer window ticking down, the urgency to find a suitor willing to meet Feyenoord's valuation of Giménez is growing.
While the potential signing of Giménez is exciting, it comes with its challenges. The key question for Tottenham is whether Giménez can adequately fill the void left by Harry Kane. Kane, a talismanic figure for Spurs, is a difficult player to replace, and attempting to find a like-for-like substitute may not be the best strategy.
Some argue that Tottenham should instead focus on acquiring a young, dynamic striker who can press effectively and bring energy to the front line. Others suggest pursuing a proven Premier League forward like Ivan Toney, who has the experience and consistency needed to thrive in England's top flight.
In the end, Tottenham's choice will hinge on their overall strategy and long-term goals. Giménez, with his impressive goal-scoring record, certainly has the potential to be a valuable addition. However, it's still unclear if he is the right fit for Spurs.
