A new report is linking us with Sebastian Drussi, the young Argentine Striker currently with River Plate and comes with a good reputation for scoring goals. 20 year old and keen.
The report:
"Tottenham are prepared to begin negotiations with River Plate over the transfer of Sebastian Drussi, according to a report.
The Independent claim Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino has added Driussi to his January wishlist, and would need to cough up at least £10 million for his signature.
The 20-year-old striker has been in blistering form for the 36-time Argentinian champions this season, having scored 10 goals from just 14 games.
Pochettino believes himself to be in a good position to land Driussi, given his Argentinian roots and contacts in his homeland.
Driussi is rated very highly on home soil, and is considered one of South America’s most talented young footballers. He has drawn interest from Italian giants Juventus in the past.
However, River Plate boss Marcelo Gallardo has no intention of selling the Argentina youth international this month, and has requested that the club offer him an extended deal to ward off interest from Tottenham.
But club president Rodolfo D’Onofrio and technical director Enzo Francescoli appear a little more willing to part ways with the high-flying striker, provided they are offered the right price.
The pair would also request that in any potential deal, Driussi is to return to River Plate on loan, and for a sell-on clause to be written into the deal.
Financial mismanagement and ongoing disputes with the league and national football association has made it difficult for many Argentinian clubs to keep hold of their players – and Tottenham are likely to use this to their advantage.
River Plate have a good history of producing quality home-grown talent, having nursed the likes of Hernan Crespo and Ariel Ortega at the start of their careers. Both went on to have careers at some of Europe’s most popular clubs."
SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD PROSPECT, 'not sure I've heard a lot of him that was of any consequence to this thread but he's got to be better than Jandado. I say that because the South American Leagues tend to be more aggressive and flair filled than places like AJAX. A well rated player from there should be more consistent than a lot of European clubs, OK that's open for debate but I wouldn't mind trying him and Pochettino's judgement on his own people should be good.
