Tottenham Hotspur line up £52m move for La Liga striker

Reports suggest Tottenham are preparing a £52m bid.

Thomas Frank

Tottenham Hotspur continue to scout targets for their attacking department. The reason is the injuries have created problems for Thomas Frank.

Dominic Solanke is out with an ankle issue. Also, Randal Kolo Muani has been sidelined with a dead leg.

Therefore, the manager has been forced to rely only on Richarlison. The Brazil international has to carry the responsibility of leading the line for the Spurs.

Meanwhile, Spurs are serious about performing well in both the Premier League and Champions League this season. But the lack of depth in the attack due to injuries can become a concern.

So, attention has turned to possible additions. The club want to strengthen the squad for next summer.

According to Fichajes, Tottenham have identified a new target. They are ready to act if his form continues.

The player has only just arrived in Spain. Villarreal signed him from Lyon during the recent summer window for £26m.

At the start of the season, Georges Mikautadze faced Spurs in the Champions League. However, Tottenham Hotspur won the close 1-0 encounter on that night.

Domestically, he has made a strong impression. Mikautadze has scored once and assisted once in his first three La Liga appearances.

On the international stage, he is already a proven performer. Since debuting in 2021, he has netted 21 goals in 39 games for Georgia.

At 24, Georges Mikautadze is viewed as one of the rising names in Europe.

Reports suggest Tottenham are preparing a £52m bid. However, they will wait until the end of the season before making a move.

Spurs want to be sure about Mikautadze’s consistency. Therefore, they will monitor him closely until the summer.

For Villarreal, Mikautadze remains key as they prepare to host Juventus in the Champions League. But Spurs may soon test their resolve with a major bid.
