Tottenham are on the hunt for a forward now that they have lost Harry Kane but they are apparently not willing to spend big on one of their targets.

According to publication voetbalkrant, Tottenham are one of the Premier League clubs interested in signing Gift Orban.

Apparently, Tottenham are not willing to spend the £25million it would take to sign him. Despite this, they do not want to give up on signing him. This is because they see him as a ‘transfer for the long term’.

He clearly has a very high-ceiling so you can see how Spurs see him as a signing for the present and the future.

With Kane gone, they definitely need a new starting striker. If they do not see Orban being given the key role consistently at the club then you can maybe see why they want to spend less on him.
