Tottenham Hotspur have emerged as one of the clubs keeping a close eye on Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho this summer.
After a relatively quiet start to the transfer window, Spurs kicked things into gear last week by securing deals for Kota Takai and Mohammed Kudus.
They nearly added a third in Morgan Gibbs-White, but negotiations hit a snag due to complications from Nottingham Forest.
Despite these moves, Tottenham are far from finished with their summer business. With several areas still in need of reinforcements, the focus now appears to be on bolstering the left flank.
This shift comes as uncertainty surrounds the futures of both Son Heung-min and Richarlison. Son, whose form and fitness dipped last season, is entering the final year of his contract.
The club is reportedly open to selling him now to avoid losing him for free. Richarlison, meanwhile, has had another injury-plagued year, leading to frustration among the club hierarchy. With Galatasaray showing interest, he too could be on his way out.
In light of these developments, Tottenham have reportedly turned their attention to Alejandro Garnacho.
The Manchester United starlet is expected to leave Old Trafford this summer and was notably excluded from the Red Devils’ pre-season tour of the United States. He’s been given time to resolve his future, with multiple European clubs circling.
According to The Telegraph, Garnacho has already turned down a big-money offer from Saudi side Al-Nassr, led by Cristiano Ronaldo. The 21-year-old is keen to remain in Europe, and Manchester United have granted him permission to explore a transfer.
Despite United’s struggles last season, Garnacho stood out as one of their bright spots, registering 11 goals and 10 assists across 58 appearances as the team finished a disappointing 15th in the Premier League.
Trusted journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that Garnacho prefers to stay in the Premier League—a development that strengthens Spurs’ chances of landing the winger.
Garnacho’s pace, flair, and ability to play on either wing would bring fresh energy and unpredictability to Tottenham’s attack. At 21, he fits the mold of the youthful, high-upside signings Spurs have been prioritizing and could be groomed as a long-term successor to the ageing Son.
With his profile and potential, Garnacho represents not just a short-term solution but a valuable long-term investment—one Spurs should pursue aggressively.
