Yesterday at 03:45 AM
Tottenham Hotspur are looking to add some attacking depth to their side and they have identified the Feyenoord winger Igor Paixao as a target.
According to a report from CaughtOffside, Tottenham sent scouts to watch the player in action and they have been impressed with the performances of the 24-year-old.
The Brazilian winger has 5 goals and 13 assists this season. Spurs will face competition from Arsenal and Liverpool for the highly rated winger.
Paixao has proven his quality in Dutch football, and he has the technical attributes to make the step up to the Premier League as well. It will be interesting to see if he is willing to move to Tottenham in the coming weeks.
The report states that the player could be available for a fee of around €30-35 million. Whether Tottenham can win the race for his signature remains to be seen. They need a versatile attacker who is capable of slotting into multiple roles. The 24-year-old could be the ideal long-term replacement for club legend Son Heumg-min if he manages to adapt to English football quickly. The South Korean is in the twilight stages of his career and Tottenham need to plan his succession.
Meanwhile, the opportunity to move to the Premier League could be quite exciting for the 24-year-old and he will look to prove himself in English football. Spurs have an exciting project and a talented squad. They could be an attractive destination for most players.
They have the financial resources to pay the reported asking price for the player as well.
As far as Arsenal are concerned, they have been overly dependent on Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka. They need more depth in the wide areas. Saka is currently sidelined with an injury and Arsenal have struggled in the attack without him. Signing a quality winger could make a big difference for them.
At Liverpool, Mohamed Salah will be out of contract in the sum of 2025, and they will need to replace him adequately. They need to sign a quality winger and the 24-year-old could prove to be a useful acquisition.
