Spurs eyeing Greek youngster Tzimas to replace Richard

Browse By

Tottenham Hotspur are keeping a close eye on the development of PAOK striker Stefanos Tzimas, who is on loan at Bundesliga side Nuremberg, with the intention of replacing the injury-prone Richarlison.

Team Talk reports that Spurs’ forward line is not as aggressive as hoped, despite signing Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth for £65m last summer, partly because they lack someone to motivate them in the form of Richarlison. 

The Brazilian has struggle for success at Tottenham since being bought from Everton for £60m. With his form and injury problems hampering his progress. 

Not to mention the declining status of captain Son Heung-min. Making the position of center forward a choice that needs to be strengthen, until we fell for Tzimas. Who is only 18 years old but is 1.86 meters tall. 

Style: Modern striker, energetic, energetic, strong. Performance this season: 10 matches in all competitions, 5 goals, 1 assist, and has been sent off with a yellow card or red card. 

The loan deal at Nuremberg UFABET is only until the end of the season. With Spurs willing to pay PAOK £ 20m next summer  in exchange for a deal that will tie him to June 2028. 

At 18 years old, Tzimas is in the same position as some of Tottenham’s recent signings.

They signed Lucas Bergvall and Min-hyeok Yang (both 18) in the summer.

Bergvall has played sparsely in the first team. While Yang was able to stay in his native Korea until the end of their season.

Both men look as if they could make good contributions to the first team. But maybe not immediately given the strength of other players at the club.
