Tottenham Hotspur see one Ligue 1 striker as a good fit for Thomas Frank’s system, but they will have to overcome competition from three of their Premier League rivals to land the player.Over recent weeks, some outlets have claimed that Thomas Frank is expected to allow Richarlison to leave Tottenham this summer.If the Brazilian does depart, the North Londoners will almost certainly enter the market for another striker to compete with Dominic Solanke.Spurs have tasted defeat in their pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo, who is on the verge of joining Manchester United, and it appears that the Lilywhites may now be turning their attention to an Ivory Coast international.Over recent weeks, we have heard that Tottenham are plotting a move for Nice striker Evann Guessand, who scored 13 goals and provided 10 assists across all competitions last season, but it turns out that they will face major competition for the 24-year-old’s signature.Photo by Catherine Steenkeste/Getty ImagesJournalist says Tottenham are the latest club to join Evann Guessand raceJournalist Pete O’Rourke has now confirmed that Spurs have indeed joined in the race for the Ligue 1 star, whose versatility is valued by Thomas Frank’s men.However, he explains that Tottenham will have to overcome competition from Wolves, West Ham and Brighton for Guessand, who will only be allowed to leave Allianz Riviera for a fee of around £20m- £25mO’Rourke told Football Insider: “A lot of Premier League clubs are looking at Guessand. He had a very good season for Nice last season, he got 12 goals and seven assists in 33 Ligue 1 games, so he has a good record.“He’s got the physical profile that you think would be a success in English football, and can play anywhere across the front line as well. There’s been interest from Brighton, West Ham, Wolves and now Tottenham Hotspur also have an active interest in Guessand.“Nice are bracing themselves for interest in this upcoming transfer window. For Tottenham, he would be a good signing, he would fit into how Thomas Frank plays.“The way Guessand can play anywhere across the front line would make him a valuable addition. Nice will be hoping they can keep hold of him after qualifying for the Champions League themselves.”Why West Ham’s interest in Guessand may be good news for TottenhamLast week, The Daily Mail claimed that Wolves and West Ham are the two clubs who hold the most concrete interest in Guessand.The outlet explained that the Hammers would have to sell players first before making a move for the Ivorian and suggested that they might ‘hasten’ the exit of Mohammed Kudus to do so.The East London club’s interest in Guessand could thus work in the favour of Spurs, with Thomas Frank’s men currently the most advanced in the race to land Kudus.READ MORE: Tottenham consider making offer to free agent to beat Besiktas to transfer bargainThe post Tottenham battle three Premier League clubs for £25m striker with 23 G/A last season appeared first on Spurs Web.
