Tottenham want to sign Brais Mendez, could submit bid in January

Tottenham are showing keen interest in signing Real Sociedad attacking midfielder Brais Mendez, according to a report from Sport. 

The 26-year-old has been enjoying a brilliant campaign once again, and Spurs could make a move in the January window. Sport claims that the north London outfit could come up with an interesting offer for the playmaker who managed 11 goals last season in all competitions.

Mendez joined Real Sociedad from Celta Vigo in the summer of 2022 for around £12m and has become a key player for the club. After an impressive season, his value rose to £26m. But Spurs and any other interested club will have to pay a fee of around £52m, his release clause.

He has a contract at the La Liga club until 2028 but his “magnificent” form has alerted several top clubs across the world. He has impressed both in the league and in the Champions League, and Sociedad are under no pressure to sell him.

Ambitious

Mendez has been in outstanding form this season, managing five goals and four assists in all competition.

Spurs must show ambition in the market and make one or two top signings to give themselves a proper chance to either challenge for the top four or for the Premier League title.

Ange Postecoglou has done a remarkable work this season and Spurs have exceeded all expectations as they stay top in the Premier League after 10 games.

Adding a quality attacking midfielder could be a priority for Spurs, and they have been linked with a move for Jota, a player Postecoglou knows very well.
