Tottenham have struggled upfront this season.
Tottenham Hotspur has been seeking a striker for some time, especially after Harry Kane’s departure to Bayern Munich. His absence has left a gap in the team’s attack.
The club has changed head coaches multiple times but has not found a reliable number #9 to replace Kane’s contributions.
Dominic Solanke has been out with an injury and isn’t performing at the level he did during his last season with Bournemouth. Kolo Muani is set to leave Tottenham at the end of his loan unless he improves his performance. Additionally, Richarlison is rumored to be returning to Brazil this summer.
As a result, Tottenham is looking to sign a goal-scoring player when the summer transfer window opens. Recently, they have shown significant interest in Igor Thiago, a striker from Brentford.
Tottenham interest in Igor Thiago meets competition
This Brazilian player has been in great form this season, taking over the scoring responsibilities from Bryan Mbeumo at Gtech Community Stadium. He has already scored 18 goals across all competitions, with 17 in the Premier League, putting him in competition for the golden boot alongside Haaland.
Brentford has responded to his performances by extending his contract until 2031, putting them in a strong position for negotiations regarding their striker.
The 24-year-old is attracting attention from top Premier League clubs and abroad. Reports from TeamTalk indicate that teams like Manchester City, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich are also interested in signing him.
This rise in his visibility is significant, especially with Carlo Ancelotti considering him for the Brazil squad ahead of the upcoming World Cup in the United States.
