Tottenham are now pushing to sign a lethal attacker this summer transfer window, according to a recent report.

The North Londoners have been active in the summer transfer window with a number of rumoured targets emerging.

They’ve also been working on a number of outgoings, with Emerson Royal, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur among those rumoured to depart.

Though, now it seems they’re ready to move a deal forward for a highly-rated attacker.

Tottenham pushing hard to sign Albert Gudmundsson

According to La Repubblica, via Pianeta Genoa, Tottenham Hotspur are pushing hard to sign Genoa attacker Albert Gudmundsson.

West Ham United are also trying to accelerate the deal for the 27-year-old, who netted 16 times whilst laying on five assists last term.

Lazio, Roma, Inter and Napoli are among the Italian clubs circling for his signature – which is expected to cost around £33m.

Lazio offered a player-plus cash deal but Genoa are only interested in a straight cash transaction.

Albert Gudmundsson statistics

Gudmundsson, who has been labelled as ‘devastating’, excels in a number of metrics on FBref.

The 37-cap Iceland international ranks in the top six per cent for shot-creating actions per 90 compared to his positional peers across Europe, evincing his elite playmaking ability.

Further, he sits in the top 10 per cent for progressive passes, only amplifying that notion.

Interestingly, he is of a similar profile to Joshua Zirkzee – who has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal and Manchester United.

If Tottenham do land Gudmunsson’s signature this summer, they’d be getting a versatile attacker who is well-polished in a number of areas.
