A better signing than Semenyo: Spurs set to make approach for £50m striker
Tottenham Hotspur’s European success this season proves they have the potential to achieve great things — now it’s time to build on that momentum.
Winning the Europa League ended the club’s long wait for silverware, providing new manager Thomas Frank with a solid foundation as he prepares for his debut campaign in charge.
Frank took the reins following the surprise dismissal of Ange Postecoglou, despite the Australian leading Spurs to victory over Manchester United in the final in Bilbao.
While the European triumph was a major milestone, the main priority for Frank will be driving Spurs toward consistent Premier League success — with the ultimate aim of mounting a title challenge in the years to come.
However, the extent of what Frank can achieve heavily depends on the club’s backing during the summer transfer window. Spurs must invest smartly to give their new manager the tools needed for success.
Spurs’ Summer Transfer Targets: Eze, Kudus & Muniz on the Radar
Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze has once again emerged as a top target for Tottenham, with the club potentially ready to trigger his £68 million release clause.
Eze isn’t the only name being considered, with West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus also attracting interest as Frank seeks to bolster his attacking options.
Another player reportedly on Tottenham’s shortlist is Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz. According to GIVEMESPORT, Spurs are preparing a move for the 24-year-old, who scored eight Premier League goals in the 2024/25 campaign.
Fulham are believed to value the Brazilian at £50 million, after turning down a £32 million bid from newly promoted Leeds United.
Muniz is reportedly open to a move to North London, which could give Spurs an edge in negotiations.
Why Rodrigo Muniz Could Be a Smarter Signing Than Semenyo
Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo is another forward linked with Tottenham. The 25-year-old Ghanaian impressed with 11 goals and five assists this season, and Spurs are reportedly preparing a £65 million bid.
However, with Bournemouth already losing key players like Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez, they’ll be reluctant to let Semenyo leave — and the price tag may reflect that.
While Semenyo would undoubtedly strengthen the squad, prioritizing a move for Muniz could be more strategic.
Despite being used mainly as an impact substitute, Muniz has proven highly efficient. Compared to Semenyo, he boasts a better minutes-per-goal ratio, higher shot-on-target accuracy, and a superior goal conversion rate.
His physical presence also gives him an edge in aerial duels, offering Frank the focal point his attack currently lacks.
Tottenham’s wingers contributed 27 Premier League goals last season, while strikers managed just 13 — highlighting the need for reinforcements through the middle. Muniz could fill that gap effectively.
Though £50 million might seem steep for a player with limited starts, his performance stats suggest he’s ready to make the step up.
If Spurs want to address their striking issues decisively, Muniz could be the ideal signing to lead the line under Thomas Frank.
