Tottenham and Everton set to battle it out for 18-goal attacker this summer – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Tottenham Hotspur and Everton have been linked with a move for the Uruguayan international Diego Rossi.
The Los Angeles FC forward is available for a fee of around £10 million this summer and the two Premier League clubs are keen on adding him to their ranks as per the Telegraph.
Both Premier League clubs are looking to add depth to their attacking department and Rossi could prove to be a quality addition for a reasonable price.
Spurs are unlikely to sign Carlos Vinicius permanently and Rossi could come in as the backup for Harry Kane next season.
Similarly, Everton have released Joshua king and they could use another attacker to support Dominic Calvert-Lewin as well.
SL View: Much-needed backup option for both clubs
The 23-year-old Uruguayan can play as a wide forward and as the main striker. His versatility could be an asset for Everton and Tottenham next season.
The forward managed to score 18 goals for Los Angeles FC last season. He has proven to be a reliable goal scorer for the MLS outfit and it will be interesting to see if he can adapt to the Premier League next season.
The £10 million asking price should be affordable for both clubs and it will be interesting to see who ends up signing the Uruguayan the summer.
Rossi is yet to reach his peak and if he manages to adapt to English football quickly, he could prove to be a major bargain for either side.
