Tottenham ‘make final decision’ on splashing out £115m on Harry Kane replacement
Tottenham face a bill of over £115m for Harry Kane’s potential replacement.
Tottenham is reportedly plotting a future bid for Brighton starlet Evan Ferguson despite a price tag that would make him Britain’s most expensive footballer, it has been claimed.
Spurs are desperate to find a long-term replacement for club icon Harry Kane following his transfer to Bayern Munich.
Ferguson is one of the Premier League’s brightest young talents, with his physicality and excellent technical ability drawing comparisons with Kane.
The Irishman does not turn 19 until October.
Spurs have whittled down their shortlist for the striker’s position and Ferguson is one of the players most liked by club chiefs.
Head coach Ange Postecoglou is reported to be a ‘big admirer’.
However, ambitious Brighton is allegedly demanding a fee that would make the attacker one of the most expensive players of all
According to talkSPORT, Spurs have identified Ferguson as a possible candidate to replace Kane. But the north Londoners have held off making an offer this summer knowing that Brighton will dig their heels in.
. The Seagulls would apparently want more than the £115million that saw Moises Caicedo depart the club for Chelsea earlier this summer.
The Seagulls are extremely unlikely to sell one of their best young players. Especially after losing Alexis Mac Allister and Caicedo this summer – two players who were crucial to their Europa League qualification last term.
Ferguson has scored seven goals in 22 Premier League appearances.
He is highly rated by head coach Roberto De Zerbi, who has eased him carefully into first-team football.
The teenage sensation made his first start of the campaign in Brighton’s 3-1 defeat by West Ham on Saturday.
He has previously provided backup to the experienced Danny Welbeck and scored his first goal of the season in the opening day 4-1 thumping of Luton.
