Tottenham Hotspur pursue Christian Pulisic after missing out on Cody Gakpo
Summary

Tottenham Hotspur are evaluating attacking options following the failure to sign Cody Gakpo. The club has made formal enquiries about AC Milan forward Christian Pulisic as the Tuesday transfer deadline approaches. Tottenham had prepared a bid exceeding £70 million for Gakpo, but those funds remain available for other targets. Pulisic, who has recorded 55 goals and assists in 100 Serie A appearances, provides experience and positional versatility. The recruitment team is also monitoring several younger players, including Malick Fofana, Jean-Matteo Bahoya, and Matheus Fernandez-Pardo. Manager Roberto De Zerbi is seeking additional attacking options to bolster the squad for the remainder of the season.
