Tottenham Hotspur has set its sights on Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho, as reported by Football Insider. This potential move comes as Spurs anticipate the possible departure of Son Heung-min, who may be heading to either the MLS or the Saudi League. The club is proactively seeking a replacement to fill the void that Son's exit would create.
Mick Brown, formerly a chief scout for Manchester United, revealed Garnacho's presence on Tottenham's list. "Alejandro Garnacho is certainly one of the names on Tottenham’s list," Brown stated, highlighting the young winger's appeal. Brown also expressed surprise at the willingness of Manchester United manager, Amorim, to consider letting Garnacho leave, emphasizing the player's impressive performances and promising future.
The potential acquisition of Garnacho is viewed as an excellent addition to Tottenham's squad. However, Brown raised concerns about the expected price tag, noting that Manchester United's public stance on selling Garnacho could weaken their negotiating position. The need to sell might force them to lower their asking price, creating an opportunity for Tottenham to capitalize on the situation, especially if Son departs.
Brown anticipates that the transfer could occur late in the window, as United becomes more desperate to sell. This timeline would allow Tottenham to take advantage of the circumstances and secure Garnacho's services at a more favorable price. The move is highly dependent on Son's future, with Garnacho positioned as a direct replacement for the star winger.
