Tottenham can surely do better than Serhou Guirassy this summer

Tottenham have reportedly joined the race to sign Amiens striker Serhou Guirassy this summer.

According to The Daily Mail, the north London side sent scouts to watch the Ligue 1 player in action against Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday.

The pulsating match ended 4-4 after Amiens had surged into a 3-0 lead at half-time.

Guirassy scored the game’s first goal, and proved rather a handful for the French champions.

That was the 23-year-old’s eighth goal of the season, and his performance against the best team in France will surely have caught the attention of some.

The Frenchman, valued at around £18 million, is expected to be fought over this summer, with Aston Villa, Leicester City and Celtic all supposedly interested.

It’s obviously a good moment for Guirassy, but Tottenham surely ought to be aiming higher with a summer window coming up.

TBR’s view – Tottenham should show greater ambition

Guirassy is a good player who is standing out for a team that is fighting relegation.

That several teams are keen on acquiring his services is a testament to his ability, but one gets the feeling that Spurs need someone with a bit more pedigree.

The summer window is a chance for bigger moves to happen and Spurs should be setting their bar a bit higher.

Given Kane’s injury, getting Guirassy in last month as cover would probably have been fine, but Spurs should be seeking top quality in the next summer window.

Sticking with Ligue 1, Edinson Cavani will be available on a free, so that’s one place Spurs could start.
