Report: Tottenham target Barcelona striker as Harry Kane replacement

Spanish media outlet SPORT has brought to light some interesting information on the future of Martin Braithwaite and his potential departure.

The Danish striker reportedly has an offer from the Premier League already on the table. West Ham have been interested in him for a while now. Negotiations between Barcelona and the Hammers have been going well.

However, the report say that Braithwaite’s preferred option is not West Ham. The player has asked the club for more time in the hope of attracting a bigger move to the Premier League.

Manchester City’s interest in Harry Kane is well documented. Negotiations between the two sides for the transfer of the striker have been ongoing, though not very encouraging.

In the event that Kane signs for Pep Guardiola’s team, Tottenham Hotspurs will be back in the market for reinforcements. Braithwaite is said to be high on their list in case the England captain leaves.

The striker’s value has grown since his positive displays in the recently concluded Euros. His performance with his National team has attracted many suitors, and Nuno’s side are said to be one of them.

In the hope of getting an offer from Spurs, Braithwaite has asked for more time to sort his future.

Barcelona right now are very tight on the wage limit and cannot even register their new signings without making sales.

That said, Martin Braithwaite’s departure is an operation Joan Laporta is actively pursuing, despite his bright performances in pre-season. His departure could be finalised in the coming days.
