Fabrizio Speech; Tottenham Set To Activate one of the top 10 players in Europe
According to a July tweet from JFMX, if Harry Kane departed, the Spurs would make an offer for Gimenez.
While the England captain did eventually depart from Tottenham, Gimenez eluded the North London team.
The 22-year-old didn’t move, and he’s only getting better. From his 11 club appearances across all competitions this season, he has an incredible 15 goals and 3 assists
Tottenham one of many clubs eyeing Gimenez
Gimenez’s heroics have put him firmly on the radar of many of Europe’s top clubs.
Romano, speaking about the forward’s future, said Tottenham and their fellow suitors would have to pay around £39million for him.
In terms of Spurs’ interest, this came about as they were scouting Arne Slot as a potential managerial replacement for Antonio Conte.
“We know very well that many top clubs around Europe are keeping an eye on the boy,” said Romano.
“From what I’m hearing, something around €45million (£39million) could be the right fee to make it happen.
“Let’s see if Feyenoord is more of a factor than the player when determining whether it’s in the January or summer window.”
“There is interest from numerous clubs. Since Tottenham scouts reportedly started following the player last year, I believe we saw Tottenham linked.
“As they followed Slot, the manager, they observed that Santi Gimenez is unquestionably a highly talented striker.
Therefore, Santi Gimenez is undoubtedly a player that Tottenham and many other clubs throughout Europe find fascinating. For this reason, decisions will be taken in the coming months.
“However, there has been no statement from the player’s family as of yet, and his father is the only one managing his transfer.”

Even at this early point in the season, it speaks well of a player of exceptional caliber to have more goals than games played.
In fact, the forward is “among the top 10 players in Europe,” according to Morris Pagniello, an agent who is rumored to be close to Gimenez’s family.
In an August interview with MedioTiempo, he also mentioned Spurs in relation to the player.
And Tottenham would be getting a steal in Gimenez for that amount. That cost might increase, though, if enough teams can start a bidding war.
