Tottenham Hotspur targets Espanyol striker Roberto Fernandez

Tottenham Hotspur is intensifying its pursuit of Espanyol striker Roberto Fernandez to address a lack of goals during a difficult start to the Premier League campaign. The 24-year-old has emerged as a primary target for head coach Roberto De Zerbi as the club seeks to improve its position in the league standings.

Fernandez has demonstrated significant form this season, scoring six goals in his first seven appearances for Espanyol. His performances have also earned him a senior international debut for Spain. Scouting reports suggest his physical attributes and direct running style make him well-suited for English football.

The club's interest in Fernandez comes amid scrutiny of their current attacking options, including Dominic Solanke and Richarlison. Acquiring the striker could potentially allow for tactical shifts within the squad, such as repositioning Omar Marmoush.
