Tottenham could move for five-goal winger after Eberechi Eze and Alejandro Garnacho update
Tottenham Still in the Market for a Left-Sided Forward Despite Mathys Tel Arrival
Tottenham Hotspur may have secured the exciting young talent of Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich in a £29.6 million move last week, but the North London club are far from finished in the summer transfer window. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, who provided an exclusive update to Spurs Web, Spurs remain active in the market, with a particular focus on reinforcing the left side of their attack. Among the names being considered are Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze, Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho, and a familiar face in Antonio Nusa.
Spurs Not Giving Up on Eze Pursuit
Eberechi Eze has long been admired by Tottenham, and their interest has only grown stronger following his consistent performances for Crystal Palace and recent involvement with the England national team. However, prising the creative midfielder away from Selhurst Park is expected to be anything but easy.
Jacobs reports that Crystal Palace are keen to retain Eze’s services for at least one more season. That said, the 25-year-old does have a well-documented £68 million release clause that becomes active this summer, presenting a potential opportunity for Spurs to test the Eagles’ resolve.
Palace are under no immediate pressure to sell and remain hopeful of building their squad around Eze under new manager Oliver Glasner. But with Tottenham looking to add more firepower to support James Maddison and Son Heung-min in attack, Spurs may yet be tempted to activate the clause if their budget allows.
Garnacho Interest Yet to Materialise into Formal Move
Another winger Tottenham are reportedly monitoring is Manchester United’s rising Argentine star Alejandro Garnacho. The 19-year-old has impressed with his pace and flair down the flanks at Old Trafford and would certainly add dynamism to Ange Postecoglou’s forward line.
Despite the strong links, Jacobs clarified that Tottenham have not yet made any official approach for Garnacho. Manchester United are believed to be open to letting the winger go—but only for a significant fee in excess of £60 million. On top of that, Garnacho’s current wage demands could pose an obstacle, particularly given Spurs’ wage structure and their focus on sustainability under Premier League profit and sustainability rules (PSR).
Manchester United, who are actively looking to balance their books, see Garnacho’s potential sale as a chance to generate pure profit, having developed the player through their academy system. That factor, along with Garnacho’s desire to remain in the Premier League, leaves the door slightly ajar. However, as things stand, Spurs appear to be treading cautiously.
Jacobs also noted that Garnacho is attracting attention from other Premier League clubs, including Chelsea and Aston Villa. Chelsea, though, are thought to be prioritizing a move for Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Bynoe-Gittens instead.
Antonio Nusa: A Familiar Target Back on the Radar
With complications surrounding both Eze and Garnacho, Spurs may yet revisit their interest in Antonio Nusa. The Norwegian winger was close to joining Tottenham in January 2024 before a last-minute swoop by Brentford—led by then-manager Thomas Frank—appeared to derail the deal. However, a failed medical due to concerns over Nusa’s back and knee scuppered the move to West London.
Nusa eventually made the switch to RB Leipzig, where he featured in 40 matches during the 2024/25 campaign. Despite only netting three goals in 25 Bundesliga appearances, the 20-year-old remains highly regarded for his technical ability and attacking potential. His relatively injury-free season in Germany has helped put to rest some of the earlier medical concerns.
Now, with Tottenham still in search of a natural left-sided attacker, Jacobs suggests the club may circle back for Nusa. His previous link to Spurs and a season of experience in a top European league make him an appealing fallback option should deals for Eze or Garnacho prove too costly or complex.
Final Thoughts
Tottenham’s pursuit of another left-sided forward illustrates the club’s ambition to build a well-rounded, dynamic attack ahead of a challenging 2025/26 campaign. While the signing of Mathys Tel is a significant step forward, Spurs know that squad depth and versatility are crucial, especially with their return to Champions League football.
Whether they decide to trigger Eze’s release clause, negotiate a high-stakes deal for Garnacho, or rekindle talks with Antonio Nusa, one thing is clear—Tottenham’s summer business is far from over.
