It seems clear that Tottenham, which has been in a slump in the league, is trying to recruit a striker in the transfer market this winter.

French sports media RMC Sports reported on the 15th (local time) that Tottenham and other English Premier League (EPL) clubs had a scramble to recruit Bradford striker Brian Mboumo.

RMC Sports reports Arsenal are interested in signing Mbomoh as L'Equipe reports. Over the weekend, Gabriel Jesus was looking for a forward after suffering a cruciate ligament injury and was ruled out for the season, the report said. `But we cannot avoid fierce competition with other EPL clubs.'

Tottenham was included among the 'other EPL clubs' mentioned by the media. RMC Sports said: "'Tottenham are interested in signing Mbömo after losing to Juventus in the Randal Colo Mo아니ni (Paris Saint-Germain).'

Colomuani, a teammate of Lee Kang-in, lost his position in his team and found a new nest in the transfer market this winter, and eventually seems to be heading to Juventus. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said on the 15th that Colo Moani will leave for Juventus on loan until the end of the season. The complete transfer option was not included. He will head to Turin for a medical test sometime this week'

Mbommo is the most 'hot' striker in the EPL this season. He scored 13 goals in 21 games and hit a career high early on. He scored multiple goals against Southampton on the 4th, helping them win a 5-0 victory.

The main position is the right winger. Tottenham, which has many wingers on the left, including Son Heung-min, Hishalisson, Timo Werner and Mikey Moore, does not have enough resources to shake the right side. If Mbomo joins, he can upgrade the offense. Mbomo can also play as a front-line striker, so Tottenham manager Engie Postecoglou can use it in various ways.

Another attraction point is that he does not need to adapt separately because he moved to Brentford from Truia, France in 2019 and has been on the English stage for six years.

In addition to Arsenal and Tottenham, Manchester United is the team that wants Mbomo. United plan to release franchise star Marcus Rashford. If Rashford leaves for one of Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan and Napoli, which are currently rumored, RMC Sports reports say he can enter the recruitment race for Mbömo.

The key is the transfer fee. Brentford have attached a 'price tag' of 50 million euros (about 75 billion won) to Mbömo. No matter how well-financed the club is, it is a burden to spend in the winter transfer market.
