Report: Tottenham eyeing another striker with 10 goals this season | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur have been making headlines recently, with the club's Europa League campaign grabbing attention.

After a convincing win against Elfsborg, where several young players showcased their potential, fans are optimistic about the team's chances in the competition.

However, behind the scenes, Tottenham's management is focused on strengthening the squad for future challenges.

After a period of relative calm, the transfer rumor mill at Tottenham Hotspur is starting to churn.

With just a few days left in the transfer window, speculation is rife about potential incomings and outgoings at the North London club.

And one particular name has emerged as a potential target for Spurs.

According to Florian Plettenberg, Tottenham are expressing interest in Nürnberg striker Stefanos Tzimas for a potential summer transfer.

However, the report suggests that Brighton are currently the frontrunners for the young Greek forward's signature.

Tzimas, a versatile player capable of operating across the front line, has primarily been used as a central striker in a front two at Nürnberg.

His stats are intriguing: 10 goals and 1 assist in just over 1000 Bundesliga minutes, averaging 3.86 shots per 90 minutes with a 66% shot accuracy. He also holds the record for being PAOK's youngest-ever league scorer. Importantly, he's only 19 years old.

Nürnberg's tactical approach, which emphasizes deep runs into the box for crosses and through balls, seems to align with Tzimas's strengths.

This style of play could be a good fit for Ange Postecoglou's system, and it's understandable why Tottenham might be interested in him, especially given his age and potential.

The report suggests that Tottenham's interest is still in its early stages, and this potential transfer might depend on the future of other targets, such as Mathys Tel.

This move seems to fit the profile of the data-driven, under-the-radar signings that Tottenham have been pursuing recently.

A gamble Tottenham can't afford right now

Tzimas sounds like a promising young player, and his stats are definitely eye-catching. But let's be real, Tottenham needs guarantees right now, not just potential.

He's only 19, that's a big gamble. We've seen plenty of young players with potential not pan out, and Spurs don't have time for that.

They need someone who can come in and make an immediate impact, someone who's proven they can score goals in a top league.

Tzimas might be one for the future, but right now, Tottenham needs someone ready to deliver, not just someone who might be good someday.
