Tottenham want 'mobile striker' after numerous scouting trips, 15-goal star wants £150k-a-week

 Tottenham Hotspur are very interested in signing Marcos Leonardo from Al-Hilal. 

The 22-year-old Brazilian has 15 goals to his name this season, and he has impressed with his performance in Saudi Arabia. According to SportsBoom, Tottenham have sent Scouts to watch him in action multiple times, and they are very impressed with his performances.

Spurs need someone like Marcos Leonardo

The player has been described as a “mobile striker”, and Tottenham need someone with his skill set. He could prove to be the ideal replacement for Randal Kolo Muani. The French attacker will leave the club when his loan deal expires. Dominic Solanke and Richarlison have not been prolific enough, and Tottenham need to invest in a goal scorer.

Leonardo wants to establish himself as the first-choice striker for his country, and he believes that a move to the Premier League could improve his chances of leading the line for Brazil. He would be open to pushing for a move away from Saudi Arabia.

Leonardo will be an expensive acquisition

The report further claims that any transfer discussion will begin from £55 million, and he is likely to cost a lot of money. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham is prepared to break the Bank for him. Meanwhile, the striker will demand wages of around £150,000 a week.

It will be a significant investment for the London club, and it remains to be seen what they decide. The 22-year-old is a talented player with a bright future, and he could develop into a future star with the right guidance. Even though the investment is quite steep, he could justify the outlay in future.

Liverpool are keeping tabs on the talented Brazilian attacker as well, and Tottenham must act swiftly if they are serious about signing him.
