Paper Talk: Tottenham to make summer striker swoop

Tottenham are ready to make a summer move for a La Liga striker, while Arsenal are eyeing a Crystal Palace star as their new right-back, according to Sunday’s papers.

TOTTENHAM TURN ATTENTIONS TO LA LIGA ATTACKER

Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly lining up a move for Celta Vigo striker Maxi Gomez, as he prepares to finally re-enter the transfer market this summer.

Spurs have not bought a single player in the last two transfer windows, but Pochettino is expected to be handed funds to significantly improve his squad at the end of the season.

Gomez had been strongly linked with a move to West Ham in January, but the Hammers pulled out of a potential £44.5million deal for the Uruguay international because of his wage demands.

The Sunday Mirror, however, claims that Spurs will move for Gomez to provide a quality back up for Harry Kane, or even a strike partner if Pochettino opts to change his formation in certain games.
