Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou appears to be broadening his search for a suitable successor to Harry Kane by joining the race for Montpellier wonder Elye Wahi.
What are the most recent Tottenham Hotspur transfer rumors?
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is apparently preparing a bid for the 20-year-old attacker, with the Lilywhites supposedly showing an interest in the Frenchman as far back as January, after sending scouts to watch him in action.
According to the newest source, while the youngster has recently been highly connected with a move to Chelsea, who are aiming to loan him out to Strasbourg, ‘additional offers’ for the rising jewel are due to arrive in the near future, with the battle to capture the 6 foot ace still on.
The France U21 international has two years left on his current contract, but The Athletic believes he might be available for a relative bargain price of approximately €30 million (£26 million).
How talented is Elye Wahi?
With speculation rife that Levy may be forced to cash in on Kane this summer, the north Londoners are likely to be in need of a new attacking figurehead for the upcoming campaign, hence why Wahi could be a viable option.
The Montpellier man is currently coming off the back of an “incredible season” in his native France – as per talent scout Jacek Kulig – with the prolific “jewel” having bagged 19 goals in 33 Ligue 1 appearances.
Having scored ten goals in just 30 league outings the year prior, the clinical forward clearly possesses the magic touch in front of goal despite his relative youth, with it no doubt exciting to see just how high in the game he can go over the coming years.
The £1.6k-per-week dynamo would also prove an attractive option due to his apparent likeness to another reported Tottenham target, Dusan Vlahovic, with the pair said to share a number of stylistic and statistical similarities, according to FBref.
That comparison to Vlahovic – who scored ten goals in 27 Serie A games for Juventus last season – can be seen by their ability to link play and bring others into the game when leading the line, with the towering Serb having racked up 45 shot-creating actions in 2022/23, while Wahi was only just ahead as he racked up 51 in that regard.
That creative touch is also illustrated by the fact that the latter man created seven big chances in Ligue 1 last term and averaged 0.7 key passes per game, while Vlahovic created four big chances and averaged 0.8 key passes per game in Italy – albeit with neither man coming close to Kane’s return (14 big chances created and an average of 1.5 key passes per game).
While Vlahovic, 23, is the more experienced alternative, having scored 23 goals in 63 games for his current club, as well as 49 goals in just 108 games for his former club, Fiorentina, the Old Lady are thought to have slapped a €80 million (£69 million) price tag on his head.
With that hefty sum in mind, it makes sense for Levy to look to a far cheaper option like Wahi, allowing any proceeds from Kane’s transfer to be reinvested elsewhere in the squad.
If Vlahovic appears to be out of reach, the younger man may be the next best option.
