tottenham in the mix
The newspaper reports that the Spanish side are working on signing a 'top-class striker' to boost their squad this summer. They want to add competition for Kucho Hernandez.
They need additional features to strengthen their options for the Champions League and they have a growing list of options they are exploring. Kevin Denky is a player they have been keeping an eye on since his time at Cercle Brugge.
He scored 66 goals and recorded 20 assists in 152 games for the Belgian club before joining Cincinnati on a €15m deal last summer. He has 31 goals and six assists in 51 games so far.
Diario reports that there is stiff competition for his signature. Paris FC, Lille, Tottenham and Borussia Dortmund have also shown interest in the striker this summer. Cincinnati are looking for around €15 million from any deal, essentially getting their money back. However, for the Spanish newspaper this may be optimistic.
tottenham scouting needs
Tottenham are unlikely to have any problem with that fee or a larger fee. He has expressed his desire to spend big on Roberto De Zerbi's side this summer.
But they will want to scout Kevin Denky extensively before making any move. It would be a risky move for them to sign a striker whose career so far has been spent in the lower leagues of France, Belgium and now America.
Perhaps, they will be hoping for a similar success story to what Jhon Duran achieved at Aston Villa. He impressed at Villa Park after arriving from America. Then after a few years it was sold in a big deal.
For now, Denki appears to be the only one on the list, with Tottenham and several other clubs looking to impress him in America.
