Tottenham Names First Choice Target Ahead of Liverpool Move

Tottenham Names First Choice Target Ahead of Liverpool Move

Tottenham have reportedly targeted two high‑profile attackers, Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo and Barcelona’s Ferran Torres, as potential additions to their forward line.

Gakpo is viewed as the primary option, while Torres remains on the shortlist amid uncertainty about his future at Barcelona.

The Spain international scored the winning goal in the World Cup final, but his tenure at the club may be nearing its end.

During the summer, Tottenham strengthened their squad by signing Mateus Fernandes, Sandro Tonali and Jan Paul van Hecke.

The club’s previous season ended with a narrow escape from relegation, leaving the new manager with an urgent need for additional offensive talent.

Roberto De Zerbi has identified Gakpo and Torres as potential solutions to the team’s attacking deficiencies.

Another option on the radar is Brazilian winger Savinho, who has expressed a desire to join Tottenham and is currently linked with a move from Manchester City.

Tottenham’s interest in Savinho appears to be a priority, with negotiations ongoing since June and subject to the home club’s stance.

While Gakpo is a key player for Liverpool, making a transfer more complex, Torres faces competition from other suitors and may be reluctant to leave a club that will not compete in Europe next season.
