Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur 'all interested in Santiago Gimenez'

Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are all reportedly interested in signing PSV Eindhoven centre-forward Santiago Gimenez during next summer's transfer window.

The Mexico international has been in excellent form for his Dutch club during the 2023-24 campaign, scoring 10 goals and registering two assists in eight appearances in all competitions.

Gimenez has actually netted 10 goals in his last six league appearances, and his form is believed to have attracted a host of attention from major European clubs.

According to Voetbal4u, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are all considering moves for the 22-year-old next year, with Feyenoord facing a battle to keep hold of him.

Gimenez started his professional career with Cruz Azul, netting 21 goals and providing 11 assists in 105 appearances for the club before making the move to Feyenoord.

The forward scored 23 goals during his first season with the Dutch outfit, meaning that he has 33 goals in 53 appearances for his current side in all competitions.

Feyenoord have the Mexican on a contract until June 2027, placing them in a strong position when it comes to any potential negotiations with interested clubs.

Borussia Dortmund are also said to be keeping a close eye on the situation, with the Bundesliga side believed to be ready to make a move in one of the next two transfer windows.

Both Arsenal and Chelsea are believed to be in the market for new forwards in January, while Tottenham did not sign a direct replacement for Harry Kane last summer.

Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino said during his press conference on Friday that the Blues would likely move for a new striker in the winter window.

Brentford's Ivan Toney and Napoli's Victor Osimhen have both been linked with moves to Stamford Bridge.

Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins is also believed to be a target, although the England international is thought to be close to signing a new contract at Villa Park.

Gimenez did not feature in Feyenoord's Champions League Group E opener against Celtic on September 19 due to a European suspension, and he will also be absent against Atletico Madrid on matchday two.

The forward was on the scoresheet in his side's 3-1 league win over Go Ahead Eagles on Saturday, with the result making it six straight victories in all competitions for the club.
