Tottenham Hotspur Are Showing Interest In This Bundesliga Forward: Should De Zerbi Move In For Him? In a recent edition of GIVEMESPORT’s Market Madness podcast , journalist Ben Jacobs revealed that Tottenham Hotspur are showing interest in Freiburg forward Igor Matanovic. Jacobs said, “It’s a shame how the Richarlison situation has panned out. Igor Matanovic is one name, as I exclusively revealed, that Tottenham like. They may look for something a little bit more short-term, like a loan. The same for Manchester United. If they can’t find the right target, or maybe someone with a bit more experience within the Premier League, then they can reassess in the summer. What they won’t want to do is necessarily go all in and panic buy in January for someone on a long-term contract, instead of just biding their time and waiting it out.” Matanovic’s Impressive Form In The Bundesliga The 23-year-old has enjoyed a good run of form at Freiburg in this campaign so far as he has put in a run of productive displays for them in the Bundesliga. Matanovic has scored eight goals and grabbed a couple of assists in 16 matches for the German club this season in all competitions. The Croat talent is currently one of the most talented forwards in the Bundesliga . Hence, Spurs would do well to bring him on board next year.

He has the vision to engineer some decent chances for his teammates in the final third and is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet. The Croat sensation can use his strong 1.94m frame to dominate the opposition defenders in the air. Matanovic has proven himself to be a reliable performer in the Bundesliga. However, there are some concerns on whether he can maintain his good form in the Premier League if Spurs manage to snap him up next year. We can expect Matanovic to add more firepower to Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi’s frontline. He has what it takes to fight for a regular first-team spot at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. At 23, Matanovic has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a worthy target for the North London club to consider this January or at the end of this campaign. Hence, De Zerbi would be wise to move in for him in 2027.
