Serhou Guirassy, a Tottenham Hotspur target, has been named the world’s eighth best player this season, surpassing both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Spurs decided against signing an out-and-out striker to replace Harry Kane after the Englishman joined Bayern Munich. Guirassy has been widely linked with a move in one of the next two transfer windows.
Serhou Guirassy has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, and Tottenham is the latest club to be connected with his signature.
This season, the ‘strong’ 27-year-old has been on fire for Stuttgart in Germany.
In just eight matches, he has 14 goals and two assists, an incredible performance for someone playing for a team that finished 16th last season.
Guirassy’s outstanding performances have now been acknowledged. 90min revealed their list of the 20 best footballers in the world for 2023/24, and the Guinea international is ranked eighth, just one spot behind Kane.
Cristiano Ronaldo is ranked tenth, while James Maddison, Lionel Messi, and Son Heung-min are ranked eleventh, fifteenth, and seventeenth, respectively.
Last week, journalist Dean Jones stated on GiveMeSport that Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Serhou Guirassy in 2024.
So far this season, Spurs have used either Son Heung-min or Richarlison up front. The South Korean has been brilliant for them and is one of the main reasons they are at the top of the Premier League league.
However, as brilliant as Son is, he is not a true striker, and Spurs will need to invest in a top-quality number nine in one of the next two transfer windows, with Guirassy an enticing choice based on his form this season.
However, it remains to be seen whether Daniel Levy would be willing to sign someone who will be 28 in March.
