Tottenham Tempted by £85 Million-Rated Forward as Transfer Window Heats Up
A forward once valued at around £85 million has been offered to Tottenham Hotspur, with chairman Daniel Levy and the club’s hierarchy reportedly intrigued by the proposal.
Tottenham’s Transfer Plans
As the transfer window edges closer to its August 30 deadline, Tottenham are in the market for reinforcements, particularly in the attacking department.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently provided an encouraging update on Spurs’ transfer activities, suggesting that the club is actively seeking both a new striker and potentially a new winger.
Despite a relatively quiet summer in terms of high-profile signings, Tottenham have made some notable moves. The club secured a £40 million deal for Leeds United’s English sensation Archie Gray, with Joe Rodon heading the other way for £10 million.
Additionally, Spurs extended Timo Werner’s loan deal, which includes an option to buy set at around £8.5 million, and signed 18-year-old South Korean prospect Min-hyeok Yang, who is viewed as a future star.
As the new season approaches, Spurs supporters are eager for more senior additions to the squad. With the added pressure of Europa League football and the extra fixtures it brings, Tottenham need to bolster their depth if they are to challenge at the top of the Premier League table.
Romano, speaking on X, reassured fans by stating that Tottenham are still actively pursuing a striker and potentially a winger, depending on the opportunities that arise.
Among the names being linked with Spurs are Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke and Brentford’s Ivan Toney, the latter of whom is reportedly keen on a move to North London as a potential replacement for Richarlison.
Chiesa Offered to Tottenham
One of the most intriguing developments involves Juventus star Federico Chiesa, who has been offered to Tottenham. Chiesa, once valued at around £85 million by Juventus, is now available for a significantly lower fee of approximately £25 million due to his contract expiring next year.

Journalist Dean Jones, speaking on the Ranks FC Ultras podcast, revealed that Tottenham are tempted to sign Chiesa after being approached about his availability.
“I was quite excited for Spurs in the sense of tracking Chiesa’s availability,” Jones said. “The versatility of Chiesa would be ideal for that team. I actually had it played up to me last week, the transfer and the prospect of it.
.
Chiesa has been offered all around the Premier League and Tottenham, I was told, had a bit of a nibble on that. When you consider what they’d have to pay for Neto or Eze, Chiesa would be cheaper than that.”
Chiesa, who scored 10 goals and provided three assists in all competitions under Massimiliano Allegri last season, also boasts over 50 caps for Italy. His potential move to Tottenham seems feasible, especially given his camp’s eagerness to secure a move to the Premier League.
What’s Next for Spurs?
As the clock ticks down to the transfer deadline, Tottenham’s pursuit of new talent will be closely watched. With Chiesa’s availability at a reduced price, Levy and the Spurs hierarchy must weigh the potential benefits of adding a player of his caliber to their squad.
Whether Tottenham can pull off this transfer or pivot to other targets like Solanke or Toney remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Ange Postecoglou is keen to strengthen his squad ahead of a demanding season. Fans will be hoping for some exciting new additions that can help the team build on last season’s fifth-place finish and make a strong push in both domestic and European competitions.
