Tottenham’s ‘priority’ deal in jeopardy as Liverpool consider hiring Arne Slot
The attacker Slot is said to be interested in luring the Mexico international to Anfield. This comes as the attacker has scored 21 goals in 29 league matches this season, with his team aiming to finish second in the Eredivisie table.
Reports suggest that Tottenham is also pursuing Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez, who has proven himself at the international level by scoring the winning goal in Mexico’s 1-0 victory over Panama in the 2023 Gold Cup final. Gimenez, who has three years remaining on his contract in the Netherlands, may be eyeing a move to the Premier League, as indicated by his presence at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium during the north London derby.
There could be upcoming changes at Anfield following Klopp’s decision to leave Liverpool, leading to uncertainty about the future of several players. Mohamed Salah, with one year left on his current deal, was the subject of a £150million bid from Al-Ittihad last summer, though Liverpool is now optimistic about keeping him.
Slot may have doubts about Darwin Nunez’s suitability as the main striker at Anfield. Given his experience with Gimenez over the past two seasons, Slot may favor the Feyenoord striker for the position.
