Tottenham Hotspur are among a long queue of English top-flight clubs battling to win the race for a highly-rated Sporting Lisbon winger.Savio and Mohammed Kudus have been injured at different times this season, while Mykhailo Mudryk picked up an injury after playing just one game for Tottenham.With Wilson Odobert still recovering from an ACL injury, Roberto De Zerbi’s options on the flanks have been limited, which is why the Tottenham boss would be delighted that Mathys Tel finally came to the party with an outstanding display at Stamford Bridge.It has now come to light that Spurs are attempting to add more firepower out wide, and have set their sights on a pacy winger, who has had a fine start to the new campaign.Photo by Maciej Rogowski/Eurasia Sport Images/Getty ImagesTottenham among host of English clubs eyeing Sporting Lisbon’s Geny CatamoGeny Catamo has taken his game to a new level over the last 18 months, with the winger having his most productive season yet last term, finishing with eight goals and producing four assists.The 25-year-old is hitting even greater heights in 2026-27, with six goal contributions already in 14 outings.According to Fussball News, a host of Premier League clubs, including Tottenham, have been alerted to Catamo’s form and are plotting a January move.Spurs have been joined in the race for the Mozambique international by Newcastle United, Bournemouth, and Everton, while Brentford, Leeds United, and Sunderland are also watching the player.In fact, it is revealed that Sunderland already had a €40m (£33.4m) offer for Catamo turned down in the summer as it fell short of Sporting’s valuation.Spurs would have to meet Catamo’s release clause to sign himFussball News make it clear that Sporting do not want to lose the pacy wide-man mid-season and a transfer will not come cheap in January.The interest in Catamo is not restricted to England, with AC Milan and Como also fans of the player, but none of these clubs has opened concrete negotiations yet.The website adds that the winger’s contract, which runs until 2029, includes a release clause of €60m (£51m), and that would have to be paid to prise him away from the Portuguese club.Would Geny Catamo be worth £51m to Tottenham?Catamo’s ability to operate on either flank could appeal to Tottenham, particularly given the injuries Roberto De Zerbi has had to manage in wide areas this season. The Mozambique international also offers pace and direct running, although Spurs already have several players capable of operating in similar positions.The reported €60m asking price is another consideration. With Tottenham struggling to put away chances and also being linked with several centre-forwards ahead of January, spending that much on another winger would represent a significant investment, and it remains unclear whether the club see Catamo as a priority or simply one of several players they are monitoring.Tottenham’s focus should not be on yet another wide player, but a number nine who gets into the box and is capable of taking Dominic Solanke’s place.READ MORE: ‘Less magic’ – Hugo Lloris pens touching 330-word tribute to Tottenham teammate Harry KaneThe post Tottenham battling six PL clubs for Sporting Lisbon star as release clause comes to light appeared first on Spurs Web.
