Tottenham Hotspur target move for Serie A attacker

Tottenham Hotspur are pursuing a move for AC Milan forward Christian Pulisic as they accelerate their search for attacking reinforcements following the miss of Cody Gakpo. The search for a new forward intensified after the club showed readiness to commit over £70 million for Gakpo, only for the player to express preference for Manchester City if Liverpool were open to a sale.

This shift has led to Tottenham reassessing their options, with Christian Pulisic emerging as one of the most prominent targets. A 27-year-old with Premier League experience from Chelsea, Pulisic possesses positional flexibility and has scored 55 goals and provided 55 assists in 100 Serie A appearances for Milan. Despite starting the season on the bench at Milan, Pulisic's recent form has been impacted by fitness concerns due to a leg microfracture sustained during the World Cup.

Tottenham's interest in Pulisic is part of a broader effort to strengthen their attack, as they have also enquired about Lyon’s Malick Fofana, Eintracht Frankfurt’s Jean-Matteo Bahoya, and Lille’s Matheus Fernandez-Pardo. Each of these players brings different age and development profiles, providing Tottenham with a mix of immediate and long-term options as they work through their shortlist ahead of the transfer deadline.
