The versatile Mendez, who can operate as a number eight, a number ten or wide on the right, has had a fantastic start to the new season, with five goals and six assists across all competitions so far (Transfermarkt).

According to Fichajes, the 26-year-old’s performances have caught the attention of Tottenham, who have been ‘closely monitoring’ the player recently.

Spurs are impressed by Brais Mendez

The report states that the Lilywhites have been impressed by the Spain international’s ‘remarkable’ showings at Reale Arena and that Ange Postecoglou has given the green light to bring the attacker to N17.

The publication asserts that Spurs are currently in the ‘planning phase’ to present a ‘tempting proposal’ to Real Sociedad for Mendez as soon as the transfer window opens on January 1.

It is alleged that the 26-year-old could be tempted to try his luck in the Premier League if Tottenham come calling.

Spurs Web Opinion

Tottenham’s rumoured interest in Mendez and Bayer Leverkusen’s s Florian Wirtz suggests that Postecoglou wants to sign a versatile attacker, who can operate through the middle or on the flanks.

That could potentially mean that the club are planning to offload Giovani Lo Celso in January, which would leave them without any natural cover for James Maddison in the number 10 role.

In previous seasons under Mauricio Pochettino, facing a ‘lesser’ side on our own patch in North London would typically see Spurs running out as winners; but not this campaign.

Spurs have looked lost in the attacking third in home matches against Newcastle United, Watford, Southampton and Saturday’s opponents.

90min report that Celta Vigo winger Brais Mendez is being considered as a potential replacement for Christian Eriksen.

Tottenham look set to lose Eriksen at the end of the season on a free transfer when his contract expires.

Mendes, 22, has featured thirteen times in La Liga this season but has not scored a single goal or even provided an assist (transfermarkt).

Opinion

Spurs have struggled to provide natural width in their team which is causing the side to try and play too narrow and through the middle which is hampering Harry Kane.

The forward barely had a kick in the first half against Sheffield United, we need to play with width to try and stretch the opponent allowing Kane more space up top.
