Tottenham Hotspur were beaten 2-1 away at rivals Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in their latest Premier League clash on Wednesday night. They weren’t able to find an equaliser against the Gunners in the end.
Ange Postecoglou’s side are currently sat in 13th place in the table after a tough season so far. They are back in action this weekend against Everton away on Sunday at Goodison Park.
Tottenham Hotspur target Alejandro Garnacho at Manchester United
Tottenham Hotspur have lodged an ‘enquiry’ about the availability of Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho, according to FootballTransfers. The report adds that the London outfit may be prepared to test the player’s current club with an offer of around £60million.
Garnacho, 20, has also been linked with Atletico Madrid this winter, as per talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook on X. He hasn’t been a regular starter for the Red Devils since Ruben Amorim took over from Erik ten Hag an is also a target for Serie A side Napoli. United would have a decision to make if a bid came in for his services. The Argentina international has made eight caps for his country to date.
Garnacho has made 29 appearances in all competitions so far in this campaign, 18 of which have come in the league, and he has scored eight goals. He is under contract until June 2028 meaning there is no pressure to let him go just yet. He has been on the books of United since joining them as a teenager back in 2020. Prior to his move to England, he had spells in Spain at Getafe and Atletico Madrid.
The Madrid-born man made his first-team debut back in 2022 and has since gone on to play 114 matches for his current club altogether, finding the net on 23 occasions. He has won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup in the past under former head coach Ten Hag but his future is up in the air.
What next for Tottenham Hotspur?
Spurs could see Garnacho as someone to bolster their attacking ranks. Freshening up their attacking ranks would help them going forward but time will tell whether they make an official bid in the near future.
Speaking after their defeat at Arsenal, Postecoglou said: "Not good enough, especially the first half. Way too passive, allowed Arsenal to take control of the game. Really disappointed with the way we, both with and without the ball, allowed them to dictate the tempo and paid a price for it. The second half was a little bit better but nowhere near good enough."
On the chances of their form turning around, he said: "You've got no choice. There's no magic cure. You've got to get up tomorrow, work hard and go into Sunday (at Everton) and prepare to go into battle and turn around our fortunes and our season. There's nothing magical that's going to change it. There's always reasons for all these things to happen, but the reality is that our results and our form in the league has been nowhere near good enough. That needs to change."
