W ith the departed Jermain
Defoe now too busy
watching ice hockey, Harry
Kane no longer the darling of Tim
Sherwood and Roberto Soldado no
longer the darling of anyone,
Tottenham need a hot young thing
to partner Emmanuel Adebayor up
front and fire them to a Europa
League place. Spurs’ scouting
department have been too busy
swigging beer and watching the
World Cup to care, but in
watching Belgium’s 1-0 victory
over Russia on Sunday, they
managed to spot the goalscorer
Divock Origi, and promptly
phoned up his club, Lille, for a
quote.
The French club are holding out
for £8m for the 19-year-old but
canny negotiator Daniel Levy will
start at £5m and hope to end up
somewhere in the middle. Origi
might only have scored five goals
in 30 league appearances last
season but remember, he’s a
‘starlet’ and most importantly of
all, he’s BELGIAN. Sign him up!
Somebody who didn’t score over
the weekend, but nevertheless
impressed in failing to do so
against a far superior opposition,
is Ashkan Dejagah . The Iranian
shone against Argentina on
Saturday and nearly gave his
nation a shock lead with a diving
header. The 27-year-old is set to
play in the Championship next
season after being relegated with
Fulham but after playing in Brazil
he has decided that might not be
for the best, with Everton
reportedly keen. “I don’t know
what will happen next season. I
still have a contract at Fulham
and have liked it there, but it is a
hard situation. Of course I want
to play in the Premier League, but
I will focus here and then we will
see what happens,” he shop-
windowed.
Another player in Brazil hoping
for a move is Victor Moses. The
Nigerian was hauled off against
Iran in their opening match and
didn’t make it off the bench
during their win over Bosnia. Vic
Mo over the hill? Alan Irvine
doesn’t think so, with West
Bromwich offering the Chelsea
winger a loan move for the
coming season.
Elsewhere, Steve Bruce thinks that
his son could do with some more
competition at centre-back at Hull
and is set to table a £4m offer for
Tottenham captain Michael
Dawson, while Swansea are
poised to offer free-agent
Bafetimbi Gomis a whopping
£80,000-a-week in order to beat
Newcastle and QPR to his
signature.
