Tottenham beats Manchester United for Youssef En-Nesyri – Media7

Tottenham Hotspur are close to signing Sevilla star striker Youssef En-Nesyri after the latter accepted their offer, outperforming Manchester United and other suitors.

According to Spanish sources, the 27-year-old Moroccan player, with 93 goals in 290 appearances, is expected to leave Sevilla this summer. Tottenham’s interest in En-Nesyri was boosted by the delicate financial situation of Sevilla, who put a modest price tag on the striker in order to ease their economic worries.

En-Nesyri, whose contract expires in 2025, has attracted the attention of several clubs, including lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia. However, Tottenham’s offer is considered the most attractive, prompting the player to opt for the north London club.

Progress under Postecoglou

Under the leadership of Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham made significant progress last season, finishing fifth and qualifying for the Europa League. However, their failure to qualify for the Champions League highlighted areas requiring improvement, including the addition of a prolific striker.

Tottenham recruitment targets

Besides En-Nesyri, Tottenham are also exploring options like Ivan Toney, Santiago Gimenez and Jonathan David. Postecoglou has identified three recruitment priorities: a left defender, an additional midfielder and a prolific striker.

Potential trade with Bryan Gil

Another dimension of the deal could include winger Bryan Gil, who Sevilla are keen to get back. This inclusion could facilitate negotiations, increasing the chances of a rapid conclusion of the agreement.

In conclusion, barring last minute setbacks, Youssef En-Nesyri is expected at Tottenham Hotspur, thus strengthening the club’s ambitions for next season.
