Tottenham Must Join Serhou Guirassy Transfer Race: He Could Be the Next Harry Kane

Tottenham Hotspur should urgently enter the race to sign Serhou Guirassy from Borussia Dortmund, as the prolific striker mirrors the qualities that made Harry Kane a Spurs legend. Recent reports indicate Guirassy, 29, is eager to depart Dortmund at the end of the 2025/26 season, seeking "one more really big contract."[1][4] With a €50 million release clause potentially activatable for select clubs, he represents a cost-effective upgrade for Spurs' attack amid their mid-table struggles.[1][3]



Guirassy's form echoes Kane's prime: after a goal drought, he's netted five in his last three outings, including a dramatic 87th-minute winner.[1] Previously, he exploded at VfB Stuttgart post a €9 million move from Rennes, showcasing ruthless finishing, playmaking, and aerial prowess—traits Kane mastered at Tottenham.[2] Analysts compare him directly to Kane for his complete forward profile, blending goals (dozens in recent Bundesliga campaigns) with assists, positioning him as the ideal successor post-Kane's Bayern Munich exit.

Dortmund's woes amplify the opportunity. Despite his contract until 2028, Bild reports confirm his summer exit intent, with Saudi Arabia favored but Premier League suitors like Tottenham viable via the clause.[1][3] Spurs, languishing 16th sans Champions League, risk losing stars like Guglielmo Vicario if trophyless; Guirassy could ignite their push, much like Kane carried them for years.[5]

Why Tottenham? Transfer whispers link Spurs alongside Newcastle and Barcelona (€65m clause rumor).[3] Guirassy's Guinea international pedigree, 187cm frame, and versatility suit Ange Postecoglou's system. Ignoring this race risks another striker void. Spurs must act decisively—Guirassy is Kane 2.0, primed for Premier League glory at a bargain price.
