Alderweireld charges Spurs to hijack Osimhen deal

Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld has urged the club to secure a move for Victor Osimhen from Galatasaray before Arsenal can beat them to the deal. Alderweireld believes the Nigerian striker would provide the goals the North London club lacked last season. Tottenham has already made significant investments this summer, breaking their transfer record twice to sign Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali for a combined £185m.

Despite strengthening other areas of the squad, the club remains focused on bolstering their attack. Former player Alderweireld warns that clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are interested in Osimhen, primarily due to his age. However, he emphasizes the importance of combining experienced players with young talents, drawing from his time at Ajax where he played alongside Dusan Tadic, Daley Blind, Frenkie De Jong and Matthijs de Ligt.

A deal for Osimhen, however, is not guaranteed as Arsenal is also reportedly interested in the striker.
