£13m Tottenham Target Likely to Make January Move
Tottenham Hotspur Gain Momentum in Pursuit of South American Winger, Setting Up Potential 2025 Transfer Battle
European clubs are reportedly eyeing Argentine talent Kevin Zenon, who has been making waves with his performances for Boca Juniors this season.
The 21-year-old winger could be the next major Argentine export to European football, with several top clubs interested due to a £13 million release clause in his Boca contract, as revealed by O Jogo.
Among those keen on Zenon is Tottenham Hotspur, according to TBR Football, along with multiple Premier League clubs that have been scouting him in recent months.
Despite becoming a key figure in Fernando Gago’s lineup, Boca Juniors anticipates losing him in January.
Zenon’s future remains uncertain, with a wide array of clubs—including Napoli, Atalanta, Lyon, Sporting Lisbon, Atletico Madrid, Liverpool, Newcastle, Manchester United, Fulham, and Everton—also monitoring his progress.
For Tottenham, signing Zenon could address a potential gap in their squad.
Initially, Spurs seemed well-covered in wide positions, but Dejan Kulusevski’s recent shift to a number eight role may prompt manager Ange Postecoglou to seek another dynamic winger.
Zenon’s profile aligns with that need, offering speed and attacking drive.
However, Postecoglou will need to consider how adding Zenon might impact the development of Tottenham academy prospect Mikey Moore, who is viewed as ready for senior opportunities.
Balancing Zenon’s potential impact with Moore’s progression could shape Spurs’ approach to signing the Argentine starlet.
