He's been linked with Lille/Lens all summer as replacement for David or Openda as he reportedly wants smaller step now before going to Premier League
Which imo is wise. He’s looks pretty raw when I’ve seen him and the PL would be a big step for him. Despite his impressive numbers I think moving to a team like Lille as a starter would serve him best. Kid looks promising tho.

Never heard of him.

Now want him desperately.

ENIC out if he doesn’t sign.

What has supporting Spurs done to me?

This is the sort of under the radar striker I would expect to compete and potentially be first choice. Someone I never heard of.

I fully agree with this. However if we can sign him up now and then loan him our for a season or 2, would be the best of both worlds. He's the kind of kid who would get game time if he's good enough up front, as most teams need goalscorers, so if he has the hunger to succeed he should definitely get game time and be ready for us in a few seasons.

Never look a Gift Orban in the mouth
DAMMIT - I was like “halfway down page two, no-one’s made a Gift Orbanhorse in the mouth joke, this is a solid 20 funnies incoming”.

Fuck sake.

Never mind selling Harry, levy should be all this kid like a rash to sign and then loan him straight back for season,

If he goes on loan it should be a step up from the Belgian league. He's completed that...

What I like about him is the variety of ways he scores goals. In that one season highlight he scores from long range, free kick, finesse finishes, lobs, poacher goals, and running in behind. He also appears to be two footed finisher. Very impressive and have to think he will only get better.

Don't see the need of loaning him out, he's a bit unorthodox in his playing style but I'm not sure that's something that will change, in fact I think it might be part of what makes him good and perhaps will have his best years being in young age.
Would be great having on the bench to change games.
Not only doing it in domestic league, he scores 1 in 1 playing UEFA tournaments.

Agree with you that this is exactly the way we should be operating. Only issue is that I don’t think we are in a position to loose our world class CF and replace him with someone we will loan straight out. Long term we should be looking to pick up some youth talents and have them develop elsewhere for a season or two, but for now I think we need to bring in players who can immediately help.

He seems to read the game very well, he has some nice passes and assists in some of his compilations.

This is the type of player I’d love to see us sign (and the type of profile we should have signed as a backup to Kane for a while). Young prospect, full of potential that doesn’t need to start every game but could easily come in and make an impact.
