Tottenham Hotspur are busy assembling a new-look attack for incoming manager Thomas Frank to conduct in the 2025/26 season, as Spurs are back in the Champions League and clearly have to do better than 17th placed in the Premier League going forward.
Already, Spurs have secured the permanent signing of uber-talented young left winger Mathys Tel, the purchase of one of the most exciting wingers in the Premier League in Mohammed Kudus from London rivals West Ham, and, soon, they will likely sign Nottingham Forest's biggest star Morgan Gibbs-White.
But Tottenham shouldn't be done there, and the North London giants are indeed looking at more established attacking names in the Premier League. One of those targets is disgruntled Manchester United 21-year-old Alejandro Garnacho, who is widely viewed as one of the biggest talents in the league and is also keenly admired by London rivals Chelsea and fellow top-five hopefuls Aston Villa.
Chelse are battling Tottenham for this signing, too
According to a report from James Ducker of the Daily Telegraph, the clubs going after Garnacho think that all it will take is just 40 million pounds to pry the talented Argentinian international away from Old Trafford this summer. All three of Villa, Spurs, and Chelsea are involved in the sweepstakes after Garnacho turned down the likes of Serie A champions Napoli, making it clear that he only wants the Premier League.
Tottenham already have Gibbs-White on the way to pair with veteran James Maddison as a No. 10 option in midfield, but Garnacho could still fit into the rotation. He can also play on either wing, and with Son Heung-min on his last legs at N17, Garnacho could work with Tel as the main left wing options after Son leaves Tottenham.
There's also the matter that the MGW signing is far from official, and if a deal for the 25-year-old attacking midfielder were to fall apart, Garnacho could be the alternative. And at 40 million pounds, Garnacho would be significantly cheaper than Gibbs-White, who was signed by Tottenham from a 60 million pound release clause.
Just 40 million pounds for one of the most physically and technically gifted young midfielders in the Premier League - let alone one playing for the mighty Manchester United - may be too good of a deal for even Daniel Levy to pass up on. Garnacho is an inconsistent gamble, but he's also a real gem of a footballer who could pay off handsomely for one of these aspiring title contenders.
