“Tottenham’s DESPERATE Battle with Jose Mourinho to Snag £24M Goal-Machine with a JAW-DROPPING 23 G/A Last Season – You Won’t Believe What Happens Next!”
Tottenham and Leeds in Battle for Ligue 1 Star as Jose Mourinho Joins Transfer Chase
Tottenham Hotspur have been keeping a close eye on Nice forward Evann Guessand, with their interest in the 23-year-old dating back to the winter transfer window.
At the time, Spurs’ attention was justified, as they were grappling with an injury crisis that saw both Richarlison and Dominic Solanke sidelined.
Despite their attacking concerns, Tottenham chose not to make a formal approach for Guessand in January, instead securing Bayern Munich’s Mathys Tel on a loan deal — a move that has since become permanent as of June 15.
Tottenham and Leeds approach Guessand’s camp over potential deal
Guessand’s performances during the 2024/25 season have raised plenty of eyebrows.
The versatile forward, capable of playing across the front three, recorded 13 goals and 10 assists in 42 appearances across all competitions.
His consistent displays have sparked significant interest from clubs across Europe, with several Premier League outfits tracking his progress.
According to TBR Football, Tottenham remain among the frontrunners for his signature.
They are joined by Leeds United, West Ham United, Brighton & Hove Albion, Crystal Palace, and Wolverhampton Wanderers — all of whom have reportedly reached out to Guessand’s representatives to explore the possibility of a move.
Nice are said to be open to parting ways with the Ivorian forward, provided their £24 million valuation is met. Given his output and potential, Guessand could represent a value-for-money acquisition this summer.
Mourinho keen on reuniting with Premier League target
While English clubs are circling, they may face competition from Turkey.
Guessand, who is reportedly open to a Premier League switch, is also believed to be considering a move to the Turkish Super Lig.
Reports suggest he has already spoken with former Spurs manager Jose Mourinho, who is now at the helm of Fenerbahce.
The Turkish giants are in search of a new striker following Edin Dzeko’s return to Serie A, and Mourinho has identified Guessand as a prime candidate.
With interest mounting, the forward is expected to make a decision on his future in the coming weeks.
