Tottenham Hotspur strengthened their attacking options during the January transfer window by securing the loan signing of Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich. The young French forward has made a promising start to life in North London, adding a fresh dimension to Spurs’ attacking play. His speed, technical ability, and versatility have provided manager Ange Postecoglou with a valuable option in the final third.
Despite Tel’s positive impact, Tottenham are not fully committing to him as their long-term solution just yet. While they hold an option to make his move permanent at the end of the season, the club’s hierarchy has already begun planning for potential summer reinforcements. Following what has been an underwhelming 2024/25 campaign, the Spurs board is expected to make significant alterations to the squad, particularly in attack, as they aim to close the gap on their Premier League rivals.
One name that has emerged as a potential target for Tottenham is Fiorentina striker Moise Kean. The 24-year-old has been in outstanding form this season, scoring 15 goals in 23 Serie A appearances. His resurgence in Italy has undoubtedly caught the attention of top clubs across Europe, and Tottenham appear to be among those monitoring his progress.
Kean’s journey has been anything but straightforward. After an early breakout at Juventus, he struggled during a disappointing stint in the Premier League with Everton, managing just two goals in 32 appearances. Loan moves to Paris Saint-Germain and a return to Juventus saw flashes of his talent, but consistency remained an issue. However, his switch to Fiorentina last summer has proven to be a turning point. The Italian international has rediscovered his goal-scoring instincts and is currently enjoying the most prolific season of his career.
Tottenham’s interest in Kean has been highlighted by GIVEMESPORT chief correspondent Ben Jacobs, who revealed that Spurs have held internal discussions about a potential move for the Fiorentina striker. However, as of now, no formal approach has been made to the Serie A club.
“From Tottenham’s point of view, it really is just something that has been spoken about internally,” Ben Jacobs exclusively told GIVEMESPORT. “There’s been no kind of approach or legwork yet with a view to the summer, so it may be one to watch, but I don’t think there’s a guarantee at this point that Kean himself is looking to leave Fiorentina – who he only joined this season.
“When a player has this kind of breakthrough, a bit like Ademola Lookman at Atalanta, they often are relatively loyal to their club. And the release clause that he has, which I think is in excess of €50 million (£43 million), is far too high for anyone to consider triggering it at this stage.”
Kean’s rise this season has drawn comparisons to Atalanta’s Mateo Retegui, another forward enjoying a standout campaign in Serie A. While Kean has demonstrated impressive goal-scoring form, questions remain over whether he can sustain this level of performance consistently. Given his struggles in previous spells at elite clubs, potential suitors—including Tottenham—may hesitate to meet Fiorentina’s steep asking price.
For Spurs, the summer transfer window will be crucial in shaping their attacking options for the future. While Kean is undoubtedly a player of immense talent, the €50 million release clause presents a significant hurdle. Unless the Italian striker continues his rich vein of form until the end of the season, Tottenham may explore alternative targets who offer better value for money.
Nevertheless, Kean’s situation is one that Tottenham will continue to monitor closely. If he maintains his goal-scoring prowess, Spurs may consider making a move, whether through negotiations with Fiorentina or by exploring a structured deal that aligns with their financial strategy. As the summer window approaches, all eyes will be on Tottenham’s next move as they look to rebuild and reinforce their squad for the challenges ahead.
