Young Brian Brobbey hints he would like to play for Tottenham Hotspur
A centre-forward is at the forefront of Tottenham Hotspur’s wish list. Last season, only Richarlison and Heung-Min Son reached double figures in the Premier League, highlighting Spurs’ remarkable push for the top four given the shortage of consistent goal-scorers in their lineup. As per HITC, Santiago Gimenez of Feyenoord is Tottenham’s preferred choice for the number nine position. Nevertheless, another Netherlands-based centre-forward, Brian Brobbey, has expressed interest in Tottenham, mentioning them when asked about his ‘dream’ destinations by HELDEN Magazine.
Last season, 22-year-old Brian Brobbey garnered significant attention. Videos of the spirited striker on TikTok gained widespread popularity, while he faced criticism from Marco van Basten and Ronald Koeman, encountered racism, and sustained injuries. Nonetheless, he also earned his debut in the Dutch national team and netted goals for Ajax.
The 22-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough season in 2023-24, cementing his place as a regular starter for the Eredivisie giants and scoring 22 goals across all competitions. Despite extending Timo Werner’s loan spell, Tottenham is actively seeking further additions to their forward line this summer, as reported by The Athletic.
According to GiveMeSport, Ange Postecoglou’s team has compiled a five-man shortlist for the number nine role this summer, including Santiago Gimenez, Serhou Guirassy, Ivan Toney, Lois Openda, and Viktor Gyokeres.
If Tottenham Hotspurs opts to pursue a striker from the Eredivisie this summer, Feyenoord’s Santiago Gimenez appears to be the frontrunner. Brian Brobbey may need to deliver one more exceptional season for Ajax to attract interest from Europe’s top clubs, particularly after his team’s disappointing domestic performance by their usual standards.
