The transfer saga has been gathering momentum in recent weeks as both clubs circle for his signature, but the player now faces a big decision on his future.
Leeds United, under Daniel Farke, are pushing hard to strengthen their attacking options, with the German coach making it clear that more firepower is needed if the Whites are to mount a serious promotion challenge. The Yorkshire club see the £45m talent as a statement signing who could transform their frontline and provide the extra edge they lacked last season. Leeds officials believe they can offer him a starring role, regular first-team football, and the chance to be the focal point of a project designed around him.
Tottenham, on the other hand, have also expressed interest, viewing him as a player who could bolster Ange Postecoglou’s attacking depth. However, Spurs’ packed squad means that he may not walk straight into the starting XI, something the player is understood to be weighing carefully. While the London club can offer Premier League football immediately, Leeds are confident that their sporting project, coupled with the chance to spearhead their promotion push, will prove more attractive.
The player himself is believed to be leaning towards a move to England regardless, with sources close to the deal confirming that he is eager for a new challenge. Whether he prioritises guaranteed game time at Leeds or the lure of top-flight football at Spurs could ultimately determine his next move.
