Tottenham need to act fast to solve their attacking problems.
The club is closing in on the signings of Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson, with both deals reportedly near completion. The double swoop represents an ambitious early statement in what promises to be a pivotal summer rebuild under Roberto De Zerbi.
But there is still work to do in attack. Richarlison, Mathys Tel, Dominic Solanke, and Randal Kolo Muani contributed just 18 Premier League goals between them last season — a return that falls well short of what a top-flight side requires.
In his seven games at the helm, De Zerbi saw enough of the misfiring forward line to know a significant overhaul is needed.
Richarlison ended the campaign as Tottenham’s leading scorer with 12 goals across all competitions, but persistent injuries have made consistency impossible throughout his time at the club. With the Brazilian now in the final year of his contract, Spurs may choose to cash in rather than risk losing him for nothing in 2027.
Tottenham identify Santiago Giménez as Richarlison’s replacement
According to the Daily Mirror, Spurs have turned their attention to AC Milan striker Santiago Giménez.
The Mexican international spent three prolific years at Feyenoord before moving to Milan in the summer of 2025, where he was expected to address the club’s struggles in front of goal. Instead, his debut Serie A season was derailed by injuries — he made only 18 appearances across all competitions and failed to score a single league goal.
Tottenham, however, are not letting one difficult season cloud their judgement. His record at Feyenoord — 65 goals in 105 appearances — remains hugely impressive, and at 25, Giménez is entering the peak years of his career. If De Zerbi sees him as a fit for his system, Spurs should move sooner rather than later.
In the short term, he could operate as backup to Solanke while finding his feet in the Premier League. With no previous experience of English football, there is an adjustment period to consider — but his current market value of around €18 million (via Transfermarkt) makes him a potentially shrewd and affordable alternative to Richarlison.
