While Tottenham continue to miss out on striking targets, the media’s attention has switched to wingers and after the Jese Rodriguez rumour continues to appear in the press, it’s also being claimed that the club are turning their attention to FC Twente’s Belgian International Nacer Chadli.

In fact, some reports are going a stage further by claiming that Spurs have tabled a bid in the region of £7m for the 23 year old. Chadli has just one year left on his contract so has hit that vulnerable stage where his current employers need to make a decision on his future and Tottenham are just one of at least six clubs to be linked with his signature.

Predominantly a left winger, Chadli is said to be comfortable on either flank and aside from having a good record of assists in Holland, he scores his share of goals at the same time. Currently, the player has 21 goals in 80 league matches for Twente and has maintained that record throughout his career.

He is also a rare dual international having represented Morocco in a friendly in 2010 before switching allegiance to Belgium, for whom he has won 14 caps to date.

Nacer Chadli is an impressive player but looking at his stats will £7m really be enough?

  1. How does spurs keep missing out in there striker targets. Im guessing that you are reffering to villa. First thats only one striker second we never placed a bid so how was he a target. Soldado is a target. We have had a bid rejected and are talking about going in with a second bid. Either way Chadli will be a good squad player an fairly risk free for that type on money.

  2. Am I the only one not worried about the lack of a striker signing? Am I also the only one that thinks AVB may only be in need of 1 striker , with the option if we keep signing midfielders of playing bale upfront ?

  3. Yes ! if it’s right that we are after Nani for the LW ,
    it would give us good 4-4-2 option to the narrow 4-3-3 ,
    with Gareth + striker up front .
    If the left winger was ,Nani,
    & the striker with Gareth was Benteke ,
    that would be something.
    Then we would only need to strengthen at LB .
