Giménez to cover Harry Kane’s exit

Spurs have yet to cover the striking void left by Harry Kane who moved to Bayern Munich in August of last year but as things stand any move for the Mexican from Rotterdam to London would materialize at the end of the 2023-24 season with Spurs one of many suitors queing up to secure the former Cruz Azul man’s services.

Giménez has already spoken about his future and alluded that a move away from the Dutch league at the end of the season us very much on the cards: “I don’t know about the future as nothing has been formalised, but I think that when we arrived in Holland, our objective and our goal was to stay for two years and go to another league. I always try to live in the present, I don’t try to take giant steps or see much further ahead.”
