Tottenham Hotspur are expected to strengthen their attack this summer.
Ange Postecoglou has several options at the top end of his pitch already, but the way many of them have performed this season proves that there is a need for reinforcements.
Son Heung-min hasn’t looked at his best this term, while Timo Werner has been really poor. Brennan Johnson has come under criticism for his performances, while Mathys Tel’s future still remains unclear. To add to that, Richarlison has barely been available this season.
Tottenham could do with a top-class attacker in the upcoming summer transfer window, and they have now been linked with a move to sign a Premier League star.
Tottenham and three other clubs interested in signing Justin Kluivert from Bournemouth
Bournemouth are having a stunning campaign in the Premier League this season.
Andoni Iraola has done a phenomenal job at the Vitality Stadium, and his side could finish in one of the European places at the end of the campaign.
One of Bournemouth’s best players this term has been Justin Kluivert.
The Netherlands international has had a fine campaign and even entered the record books by becoming the first player to score a hat-trick of penalties in the history of the Premier League.
CaughtOffside now claim that Tottenham, along with Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle United, are interested in signing Kluivert this summer.
The Dutchman is open to a move away from Bournemouth if a bigger club comes calling, and he is set to be available for a fee between £41 million and £46 million.
The report claims that all the interested clubs truly believe that Kluivert ‘will make a significant contribution to their team’ if they get him in the summer.
It remains to be seen if Spurs or any other interested club will meet Bournemouth’s demands.
Justin Kluivert’s stats compared to Tottenham’s attackers in 2024/25
Kluivert is having a fine season at Bournemouth.
The former Roma man has scored 13 goals and provided seven assists for the Cherries, which is a fantastic return considering that he has played most of the campaign as a number 10.
His numbers, compared to almost every Spurs attacker, are superior.
| Games | Goals | Assists | |
| Justin Kluivert | 32 | 13 | 7 |
| Son Heung-min | 40 | 11 | 11 |
| Dominic Solanke | 33 | 11 | 8 |
| Dejan Kulusevski | 42 | 10 | 10 |
| Brennan Johnson | 39 | 14 | 3 |
| Wilson Odobert | 13 | 3 | 0 |
| Timo Werner | 27 | 1 | 3 |
| Mathys Tel | 7 | 1 | 0 |
| Richarlison | 14 | 3 | 1 |
| James Maddison | 38 | 11 | 7 |
As the table shows above, Kluivert has outscored all of Spurs’ players this season, bar Johnson, despite playing fewer games than many of them. His goal tally is even better than that of Son and Dominic Solanke.
To add to that, the Dutchman did not have Europa League games, where the level of competition is nowhere near as high as in the Premier League.
If Tottenham can get Kluivert this summer, we think he will be a hit in North London – even if he doesn’t play as regularly as he has done at Bournemouth.
