Tottenham Hotspur have been looking to bring in a backup striker given Richarlison‘s struggles at White Hart Lane, and the Lilywhites could be backing their youth policy as they look to fortify interests in signing FC Nurnberg striker Stefanos Tzimas.
The teenager is currently on loan from PAOK and has been putting in some impressive performances for his temporary employers; however, the German club does have an option to make the move permanent for a fee of around €18 million. And if the latest report from Bild is to be believed, FC Nurnberg could be looking to buy the player on a permanent deal before turning an immediate profit on him with multiple Premier League clubs looking to secure his signature.
Premier League interest for Stefanos Tzimas
English top-tier sides like Chelsea, West Ham, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur have expressed keenness on securing the player’s services, and FC Nurnberg are said to be looking to set an asking price of around €24 million for the 18-year-old centre forward.
It will be interesting to see how this move goes ahead in the coming months.
Richy’s struggles to establish himself at White Hart Lane have left the club searching for solutions, and while Tzimas is a promising prospect, it is very risky for Ange Postecoglou to rely on an 18-year-old as a first-choice backup. Tottenham may need to complement his arrival with a more experienced striker to solidify short-term options upfront.

Pursuing Tzimas further shows Levy’s ambition to sign an emerging player and develop them among the ranks at Hotspur Way, and if Spurs are to sign the 18-year-old, he could become a long-term asset at N17.
