Tottenham Hotspur is setting its sights on the next big thing in football with the pursuit of 17-year-old Nigerian striker, George Osrzehmen Ilenikhena, according to reports from Sportblog247.com. Born in Lagos, Nigeria, in 2006, Ilenikhena began his football journey in France with Amiens SC before gaining attention for his prowess on the pitch.

With Tottenham’s recent struggles in the English Premier League, the club is seeking a game-changer in the mold of their former star striker, Harry Kane. The LilyWhites are hoping to bolster their attacking lineup and have identified Ilenikhena as a promising prospect to fill Kane’s shoes.

While Inter Milan has also shown interest in the young talent, Tottenham is actively scouting the market, with Royal Antwerp demanding €20 million for Ilenikhena’s services. The teenager has already made a significant impact at Royal Antwerp, contributing to 15 goals since joining the club last summer.

Despite Inter Milan’s pursuit, Tottenham remains determined to secure Ilenikhena’s signature. However, the North London club is keeping their options open and is also considering Spanish-Nigerian striker Sam Omorodion from Deportivo Alaves, should negotiations for Ilenikhena fall through.

As the race for Ilenikhena heats up, both Tottenham Hotspur and Inter Milan are eager to secure the services of the promising Nigerian talent, aiming to strengthen their attacking prowess for the future.
