In a surprising turn of events, Manchester United’s pursuit of Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy has hit a snag as the player has reportedly expressed a strong desire to join Tottenham Hotspur during the upcoming January transfer window, as per The Sun.

Spurs have reportedly benefited greatly from Guirassy’s choice, which has caused United to focus on Youssef En-Nesyri of Sevilla.

The Red Devils have quickly turned their attention to investigating the prospect of obtaining En-Nesyri’s services after learning of Guirassy’s preference for the Spurs.

Tottenham needs more offensive reinforcements, and they need them quickly since Heung-min Son is scheduled to play in the Asian Cup beginning in January.

Without him, Spurs’ offensive options are restricted to Richarlison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Brennan Johnson; the

The only acknowledged central forward on the squad is the latter.

And with Richarlison’s patchy play, Spurs are actively looking for a serious goal threat.

With 17 goals in 14 Bundesliga games this season and an astounding 19 goals in 16 games across all competitions, Guirassy stands out as a likely option.

Although West Ham and Newcastle have also expressed interest, Guirassy’s purported desire for Spurs fits with the team’s urgent need for more offensive depth, which might lead to an exciting January transfer to North London.
