Tottenham’s pull to attract players has been going down of late.
Tottenham Hotspur had been striving to bring in a new forward to resolve those goalscoring problems in the winter window, but no transfer came to fruition at Hotspur Way despite multiple links in the rumour mill. But while no move materialised in January, the North Londoners will surely be looking at probable additions to the attack in the off-season.
And this is where the Lilywhites could turn to their long-term target as they look to bring in a Premier League-proven star to the roster at N17, someone who has already been proving a nightmare for English top-tier defenders for better part of the last decade.
We saw how the chiefs at Hotspur Way were quite pushing to bring in Premiership-proven talent last summer with failed pursuits of Eberechi Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White, alongside the marquee transfer for Mohammed Kudus from West Ham. And it looks like the Premier League giants are looking at reuniting Kudus with his former teammate this summer.
United to repeat Mbeumo trick with Bowen?
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly weighing up a move to bring Jarrod Bowen to N17 next summer, per TeamTalk. Though the report also mentions that the North Londoners are not alone in the pursuit of the West Ham winger, with Manchester United also monitoring his situation at London Stadium.
It will not be easy to push the Hammers into selling given that Bowen has a contract with his current employers until 2030. This does mean that convincing the East Londoners will be a tricky task.
While West Ham also have a relegation battle to attend to (much like Tottenham), even if they were to go down, it is highly unlikely that they will sanction a move for their most influential forward without asking for a substantial fee.
But United also holding interest in him further complicates things given that they would likely push the North Londoners on the fee side of things (very much like they did with Bryan Mbeumo last summer).
Author Opinion
Bowen is twenty-nine (29) and surely has a few years ahead of him. And singing him will be a clear signal of intent for immediate results that Tottenham fans are craving after windows of future promise where money is spent on future prodigies and then players who can bring things to the table from the get-go.
This has left Tottenham in the relegation battle that they are in right now.
Hopefully the chiefs at N17 have learnt something from this…
