Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on a versatile Serie A forward with 10 goal contributions to his name this season, and the North London club’s pursuit of Gustav Isaksen may just have been boosted following a new transfer development.
Tottenham may need reinforcements in their forward line this summer as Timo Werner’s loan spell comes to an end, while Richarlison is expected to depart Spurs.
It has now been revealed that the Lilywhites could now turn their attention to a young Dane, who is winning a lot of admirers with his performances in Italy this season.
The player in question is Lazio’s Gustav Isaksen, who has scored five goals and provided five assists across all competitions this season.

Tottenham ready to make an offer for Gustav Isaksen
A report in TVPlay has now claimed that Spurs have been very impressed with Isaksen’s displays in Rome this season.
The outlet states that the versatile forward, who can play across the front three, is a very appealing option to the North London club, whose interest has been piqued by the 23-year-old’s upturn in form of late.
The publication adds that Tottenham are willing to launch an ‘assault at over €40m’ (£33.5m) for Isaksen, and there is one reason why that offer is likely to be accepted.

Why Lazio are willing to sell Isaksen to Spurs

This is because they are keen on securing Federico Chiesa from Liverpool and are want to raise funds for the move by selling some of their assets.
It is suggested that Lazio are thus ‘evaluating’ the option of selling Isaksen as Tottenham and others circle over the young forward.
