Tottenham Hotspur Are Eyeing A Move For This Barcelona Talent: Should Frank Snap Him Up? | OneFootball

In a recent report, Fichajes mentioned that Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a move for Barcelona talent Dani Olmo. It has been stated that Spurs are facing competition from Saudi Pro League clubs in pursuit of the Spanish attacker this summer.

Olmo’s Impressive Numbers In Spanish Football

Olmo managed to impress at times with his performances for Barcelona in La Liga last season. The Spanish playmaker scored 12 times and picked up seven assists in 39 matches for the Catalan club in the previous campaign across multiple competitions.

The 27-year-old was a consistent performer in the final third as he averaged 2.97 shots per 90 minutes in La Liga. He kept 37.5% of his attempts on target. Olmo was even careful when interchanging possession with his teammates in the opponent’s half, as evidenced by his pass success rate of 81.1% in the Spanish top tier (stats via fbref.com).

Olmo is under contract at the Nou Camp until the summer of 2030, which could make it tough for Spurs to sign him on a cut-price deal in this transfer window.

Should Tottenham Hotspur Boss Thomas Frank Snap Olmo Up This Summer?

Olmo is a decent dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make a few driving runs with it in the opponent’s half. He has got the vision to create some meaningful openings for his teammates to find the back of the net.

The Spaniard can shoot the ball with power from long range and can contribute by scoring and creating his fair share of goals up top. Olmo is primarily an attacking midfielder but can also play as a left-sided wide player if told to do so. However, it remains to be seen whether he can make a smooth transition to life in the Premier League.

We can expect Olmo to add more firepower to Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank’s attack. He has what it takes to fight for a regular first-team spot at the North London club this season.

Olmo would also serve as an ideal replacement for James Maddison, who suffered a serious injury in pre-season. At 27, he is about to enter his prime, which makes him a worthy target for Tottenham to consider in this transfer window. All in all, Frank should focus on snapping him up this summer.
