With the season finally coming to an end, Tottenham Hotspur spends a monumental summer before them.
For example, potentially replacing Ange Postecoglou, Daniel Levy and Co have to go big in the transfer window so that teams can’t stand another Premier League campaign like this.
In addition to making sure to maintain their own planet like Christian Romero, the people of North London need to bring in something new to help them climb to the table and fully explain themselves in the Champions League.
Fortunately, the report has recently linked the club to an attacker, and is an attacker that will become a massive upgrade of his son Heung-Min.
Tottenham Transfer News
Before you reach the star in question, it’s worth seeing some of the other great players, like Leroy Sané and Xavi Simons, who have linked their journey to Spurs over the past few weeks.
The former contract with Bayern Munich expires at the end of this month, and could be a free signing as German International scored 13 goals and provided six assists in just 2,377 minutes of football in 45 appearances this season.
Meanwhile, Simons will cost the club around £67 million, but it would still be hard to argue that it’s not a fair price as the Flying Dutchman scored 11 goals and was able to provide eight assists in 33 appearances this season.
But there’s another, even more impressive winger linked to Tottenham: Brad Leavercola.
Yes, according to a recent report from Cated Offside, Spurs is one of the Premier League clubs that are very interested in the Paris Saint-Germain phenomenon.
In fact, the story claims that Lily White, Arsenal and Manchester City have already sent scouts to see the French international.
However, PSG doesn’t want to sell 22-year-olds, but it can be a complicated and expensive transfer, with up to 120 million euros and around £110 million.
That said, this may be worth breaking the bank, especially given Barcola’s immeasurable abilities and possibilities.
How Barcola compares to his son
Barcola has been able to and has played in other positions in the past, but it is clear that his preference and best role is left.
So, if he signs them, it will be his son Heungmin, if he signs them, depending on what else will happen in the summer transfer period, one of his major competitors in game time with the Spurs next season.
That being said, who will be on top when we compare them? Well, from a raw output perspective, it’s a rather one-sided event.
For example, according to analyst Ben Matinson, the incredible Lyon-born ace, “one of Europe’s best LWs,” scored 21 goals and provided 19 assists in 3643 minutes total this season.
In contrast, the North London captain scored 11 goals and provided 12 assists in 46 appearances, totaling 3189 minutes and involved in all other games, or one goal every 138.65 minutes.
So, what about their fundamental numbers this season? Looking under the hood, which attacker will appear above?
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it is a “devastating” star, as explained by U23 scout Antonio Mango, who once again won here.

For example, there are some metrics that the Korean superstar can hold himself and actually come out first, but the winner of UCL is far better in the majority of related matters.
Ultimately, his son has been an incredible player for the Spurs for a long time, but Barcola is a better winger in almost every way, so Levy and Co should be doing everything they can to sign him this summer.
