Tottenham Hotspur: 3 strikers that could replace Harry Kane
By Kian Long
3. Mauro Icardi (Inter, on loan at Paris Saint-Germain)
Mauro Icardi is a player for Inter Milan, but one thing’s for sure; he doesn’t want to be an Inter player. Currently on loan at Paris Saint-Germain, the Argentine is loving life as he is the French club’s top goalscorer this season.
However, it’s important to stress he is only on loan and only the Parisian club has the power to make him a permanent player. With it being a known fact they need to let go of a player or two to prevent themselves breaching FFP rules, signing Icardi on a permanent deal could prove problematic.
That said, a Tottenham moving for Icardi is certainly not off the cards. Jose Mourinho is a known advocate of Icardi and his work in the final third would surely be appreciated at Tottenham.
Having dominated Serie A and now gaining experience in Ligue 1, Mauro Icardi is certainly ready for a move to the Premier League. He has been linked on numerous occasions with a move to London, primarily with Chelsea and Arsenal. That said, Mourinho would rub salt into the wounds of the two clubs that dislike him the most.
Icardi will undoubtedly be the most expensive player on this list but he is worth all the money. If Tottenham is looking to invest most of the money they make from Kane’s sale back into the team, which they really should aim to do, then Icardi the option to go for.
