inevitable. It's been a terrible season Tottenham Hotspur yet.
Angie Postecoglou Side find offline themselves in eleventh place in Premier LeagueAnd while they have League Cup The semi-final to look forward to is an encounter with an absolutely sensational Liverpool, who look practically unbeatable.
However, it's not all doom and gloom, as the club has a number of really exciting youngsters in the squad and academy, which could see them become a serious force in a few years.
Moreover, it will seem as if Daniel Levy And Co. are leaning towards this strategy even more, with recent reports linking the club with another exciting prospect who could be the ideal long-term rival for the club. James Madison.
Tottenham Hotspur transfer news
According to According to the latest report from SpainTottenham are very interested in Brighton & Hove Albion player Facundo Buonanotti, who is currently on loan with Leicester City.
In fact, the report revealed that the north Londoners have already acted on their best interest and made a bid of around €45m for the Argentine youngster, which works out to around £37m.
However, the story claims that these fees may not be enough to entice the seagulls To sell the jewel, which is worth £25,000 a weekWhich just goes to show how highly rated it is.
It could be a complicated and expensive move to get over the line, but given Buonanotte's ability and potential, it could be worth pursuing, especially if he can provide more competition for Madison in the short term.
Why Buonanotte would be a good signing
There are two main reasons why Buonanotti is an excellent signing for Tottenham.
The first is the additional competition he could provide Madison over the next two years.
Now, at just 20 years old, there should be no expectation on the Argentine's mind to come in and replace the Englishman, but as things stand, it looks like he can at least challenge him for minutes here and there.
Good night against Madison on 24/25 |

For example, while the former Leicester City player scored a goal Eight goals and five assists In 26 appearances this season, he has been the Foxes' current 'wizard' as he is called By Rising Stars XI on XAnd it was recorded Four goals and two assists In only 18 matches.
Now, while this means the Coventry-born star is averaging a goal contribution every two games compared to the Argentine's average of one goal every three games, he does so in a more attack-oriented team with better resources, not to mention The fact that he is eight years older.
In short, while the Brighton prospect will not replace the Lillywhites' No.10 immediately, he certainly appears to be on the right track, which brings us to the second reason the North Londoners should sign him: their draft.
With the additions of Archie Gray, Wilson Odubert, Lukas Bergvall and Young Hook alongside academy products such as Mickey Moore and Will Lancashire, it is clear that Levy and company are building for a bright future and, therefore, a player like Bonanotte would be on the cards. Perfect addition.
Like talkSPORT Jack Johnson saysThe young man “is going to be a star,” and if you’re still not convinced, just listen to former Premier League winner Carlos Tevez, Who said the young man? “He reminds me of Messi” a few years ago, and that he “has no ceiling.”
Ultimately, despite spending a lot of money on a young man, Buonanotte has already shown that he can contribute now, and based on the opinions of people who know him, he could become an absolute world-class player in a few years.
Therefore, Spurs must do what they can to bring them up to 17th place next year.
