Report: Spurs may have to contend with Saudi club if they want to sign striker target

It turns out that Tottenham might have to contend with competition from Saudi Arabia if they wish to make a move for Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri.

Tottenham are on the lookout for a new striker

A whole host of number nines have been linked with Tottenham over the summer, with the North London club thought to be intent on signing a marquee number to fill the void left by Harry Kane (Football Insider)

En-Nesyri, who has been prolific in front of goal for Sevilla over the last two seasons, is one of those, with a number of outlets suggesting previously that the Lilywhites were favourites to land the Moroccan international (El Mira).

Competition from Saudi Arabia in En-Nesyri race

However, SportItalia reporter Rudy Galetti has now taken to social media to state that Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah are now also eyeing a move for En-Nesyri.

The journalist says that the Middle Eastern club have asked Sevilla for information on the player and could soon launch a €20m bid for the centre-forward.

Galetti adds that Fenerbahce, who are now managed by former Spurs boss Jose Mourinho, are also keen on the 27-year-old but they are unwilling to pay more than €15m.

Spurs Web Opinion

There is nothing concrete to suggest that Tottenham’s interest in En-Nesyri went beyond the initial exploratory stage.

The likes of Jonathan David and Ivan Toney now appear to be the top options on the North London club’s wishlist.
