Tottenham plot raid to sign 30-goal star after source’s Richarlison reveal
Tottenham could look to sign Serhou Guirassy this summer following his strong campaign with VfB Stuttgart.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke admitted Guirassy would provide value for money due to the £17.5million release clause in his contract.
The Guinea international has been on the radar of multiple top clubs in recent months after scoring 30 goals in 30 games over the past season for Stuttgart.
O’Rourke revealed the Bundesliga side are doing “everything they can” to keep hold of the 28-year-old, whose contract is set to run until 2026.
