Tottenham target scores brace against Bayern Munich in Champions League, outshines Harry Kane | OneFootball

Tottenham remain active in the market as the January transfer window nears, with reports linking the North London club to several players and even a Premier League manager.

This interest comes as the team navigates a challenging campaign plagued by injuries and inconsistent form.

On a brighter note, three players have reportedly returned to training, offering hope for improved squad depth.

However, the injury list continues to grow, with a Spurs midfielder sustaining a knock during a recent session, adding further complexity to Ange Postecoglou's plans.

While Tottenham's recruitment team explores various options, one name that continues to surface is a striker who recently delivered a standout performance in the UEFA Champions League.

Santiago Gimenez, Feyenoord's prolific forward, has been linked to Tottenham in recent months, and his latest exploits have only increased interest.

The Mexican international scored a brace against Bayern Munich in Feyenoord's 3-0 victory at De Kuip, showcasing his ability to perform against Europe's elite.

Gimenez opened the scoring in the 21st minute, assisted by Gijs Smal, before calmly converting a penalty deep into first-half stoppage time.

His influence extended to the game's final goal, with a decisive run leading to Ayase Ueda's late strike.

This performance, which overshadowed former Tottenham star Harry Kane's display for Bayern, underscores Gimenez's rising profile.

With four goals in four Champions League matches this season, the 22-year-old has proven himself on the grandest stage.

Linked to clubs like AC Milan, Nottingham Forest, and Tottenham (h/t MX Futbol), Gimenez's market value is expected to soar further by season's end.

If Tottenham are serious about adding firepower to their attack, securing the Mexican striker could require a significant financial commitment.
