Overview
- Journalist Paul O’Keefe posted on X that Tottenham have placed Villarreal striker Georges Mikautadze on their attacking shortlist, a development first reported on Friday by multiple outlets.
- Spurs have not made a formal approach and are described as monitoring Mikautadze while they assess options ahead of the summer window’s close.
- Mikautadze scored 13 La Liga goals and supplied six assists in 32 league appearances last season, a record reporters say suits De Zerbi’s high‑intensity, link‑play front line.
- The forward is under contract at Villarreal until 2031, which sources say would make any transfer expensive and could invite competition from clubs linked to him such as Barcelona.
- Tottenham remain focused on signing a winger plus a versatile forward and are also linked with targets including Savinho and Cody Gakpo, meaning Mikautadze is one of several options that could shape squad decisions and spending.
