Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the OGC Nice striker Evann Guessand.
According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham scouts have been tracking the 23-year-old forward this season and they are impressed with his performances. They could look to make a move for the player following the injury blow to Dominic Solanke.
The England international picked up a knee injury in training and Tottenham are looking to add depth to their attacking unit.
Guessand has been quite impressive for Nice and he has nine goals and five assists to his name in all competitions. The Ivorian is highly rated across Europe and multiple clubs are keeping track of his progress. The striker is reported valued at £20 million and Tottenham certainly have the financial resources to get the deal across the line.
The player has a long-term contract with OGC Nice, but they are prepared to consider a sale if their asking price is met. Tottenham should look to make a move for him before the window closes.
Guessand is capable of operating as a central striker as well as a right-sided winger. His versatility will be a bonus. He will add goals and creativity to the side.
The Ivorian could be excited about the possibility of playing in the Premier League, and it will be an exciting step up in his career. Tottenham are a big club with an exciting project and they will be an attractive destination for the player. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Tottenham must strengthen their squad this month if they want to secure Champions League qualification. They have been quite disappointing so far and they need to put together a winning run to keep their hopes of a top-four finish alive. Signing better players will certainly help them bounce back strongly.
