Spurs Striker Targets Series - 2
2 min read
In the second of a series of posts we take a look at some of the targets Tottenham have been recently evaluation as we seek a replacement to add goals to our front line. Any purchases depend upon player sales and being able to clear a non-home grown player slot in the squad, as we have no places available at the moment.
Mattia Destro is still on our radar. The 23-year-old Roma forward is uncertain over his future and again has plenty of suitors, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Schalke, Wolfsburg, Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool, Chelsea, Monaco and Fiorentina.
Born/Age: 20.03.1991 (23)
Nationality
Current club: AS Roma
Contract until: 30.06.2017
Position: Centre Forward
Market value: 14,96 Mill. £
He has been described as arrogant and Roma are believed to be willing to let him go in the summer. He has a contract until 2017 and his agent has been touring clubs to ascertain interest in his client, who is being offered for £15 million.
He has 4 goals in 12 Serie A appearances and none in 2 UEFA Champions League games, but he has made 7 appearances of less than 25 minutes. Destro has 8 Italian international caps and has scored 1 goal for his country at senior level. His international scoring record is below followed by his domestic record.
As you can see his career has been spent in Italian football and he has 46 goals in 114 games in total. He stands 1.81m (5ft 10in) tall and has pace and power, rather than aerial ability, his passing would need working on as well.
His wage demands though are said to be £90,000 per week and he does have a bit of a temper so we'd have to be sure first he'd deliver and second he'd get on with Mauricio Pochettino's approach.
