Tottenham Hotspur have predicted a major reorganization of their squad in the transfer window this summer. Coach Enze Postecoglou, who took charge of the team for the first time last season, cruised with an outstanding performance early in the season He is very disappointed that he finished fifth after falling behind in the ranking competition after the middle. In order not to repeat this, he showed his willingness to recruit outstanding talents in all fields, including strikers, midfielders, and defenders.
However, Tottenham's recruitment ability is not very good as it enters mid-July. It only recruited two young prospects, Archie Gray and Lucas Bergbal. Recruitment of A-class strikers, who will help the team immediately, has been a top priority, but there are no definite results.
In this situation, the possibility of another team recruiting offensive resources that Tottenham had been working on was raised. British media TBR Football reported on the 13th (Korea Standard Time) that "Farbridgeo Romano AC Milan is actively approaching the £28 million striker that Tottenham was trying to recruit."
Romano, a reporter familiar with the European transfer market, said on his SNS that `AC Milan has signed AS Roma striker Tammy Abraham over Tottenham.' Abraham was recently reported by TBR Football as a player that Tottenham actively seeks to recruit.
However, with Tottenham not making a clear offer, Milan appear to have intercepted Abraham first. Romano said `AC Milan are planning to play Alvaro Morata and Luka Jovic next season and another striker they are pursuing recently, so Abraham is the likely new striker.
Tottenham first pushed for Abraham's recruitment. However, he did not strike out as a priority. I hesitated because of his injury history. Abraham played only 12 games in the 2023-2024 season in the aftermath of a cruciate ligament injury. Although he has two years left on his contract with AS Roma, Roma are looking to sell Abraham because of this history. Tottenham was initially mentioned as a strong destination, but it seems that they did not actively participate due to Abraham's injury history.
Another media outlet, Give Me Sports, quoted a Tottenham source as saying that `the Tottenham club did not consider Abraham the top target of recruitment.' In the end, Tottenham considered recruiting Abraham, but Milan actively engaged Abraham amid hesitation.
Although it was not a top priority, it is only certain that Tottenham are trailing in the recruitment race. In order for Postecoglou's goal to raise the ranking next season to be achieved, it seems that he needs to show more activism in the transfer market.
