# Tottenham Hotspur: Spurs eyeing Umar Sadiq

**Tottenham Hotspur are now reportedly eyeing up a move to try and sign towering striker Umar Sadiq.**

### The Lowdown: Sadiq on form

Sadiq is a player on form and full of confidence, scoring six goals and making a further three assists in just eight games in La Liga 2 for Almeria so far this season ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/umar-sadiq/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/337715/plus/0?saison=2021&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)).

He is well on course to beat his very impressive stats from last term in the division, when he scored 20 times and supplied seven assists in 37 matches in total ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/umar-sadiq/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/337715/plus/0?saison=2020&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=ES2&pos=&trainer_id=)).

### The Latest: Tottenham interest

As per [Fichajes](https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/tottenham-fija-sadiq-sale-harry-kane-20211006.html), Spurs have now been following Sadiq through a Big Data consulting company, and receiving reports of his performances.

They see the striker as a potential replacement for Harry Kane, but he currently has a release clause of €60m (£51m).

However, Almeria would reportedly be happy to sell him for €30m (£25.5m), thus presenting the North London club with a potential bargain.

### The Verdict: Not a replacement

Although Sadiq does play in a lower division, his goal scoring record should certainly not be sniffed at.

With a six-foot-three-inches frame as well, the Nigerian should have little problems in adapting to the physical nature of the Premier League, and would offer Nuno Espirito Santo’s team a threat in both boxes.

If they can get the 24-year-old for £25.5m, it could turn out to be a real bargain in the future, but his inexperience at the highest level would make it a risk to bring him in as a direct replacement for Kane – perhaps he can be the deputy the Lilywhites have been searching for?
