Tottenham chase La Liga hot‑shot Roberto Fernandez as January looms

Tottenham Hotspur are exploring a move for Espanyol striker Roberto Fernandez as Roberto De Zerbi looks to strengthen his attacking options ahead of the January transfer window. According to TEAMtalk, Spurs have stepped up their interest in the 24‑year‑old after being impressed by his performances in La Liga this season.

Why the north London club want him

The Spanish forward has scored six goals in seven league appearances and earned his first senior international call‑up, attracting interest from several clubs. Tottenham have monitored his development since last season, but his impressive start to the current campaign has accelerated their pursuit.

Fernandez combines physical strength with intelligent movement and a natural instinct for finding the back of the net, qualities that could address Spurs’ attacking concerns. His recent form also earned recognition from Spain manager Luis de la Fuente, further enhancing his reputation.

De Zerbi sees the 24‑year‑old as an intriguing option to build a more effective attacking unit, noting his ability to lead the line and occupy opposition defenders, adding a different dimension to Tottenham’s attack.

Fernandez scored seven goals last season, and his growing confidence and international breakthrough have strengthened the case for a move to a bigger club.

However, competition may arise, with German clubs reportedly keeping tabs on the forward. Espanyol are unlikely to welcome the departure of one of their most important players, given his growing influence on the team.

Spurs will need to assess their options carefully before deciding whether to formalise their interest in the coming months, and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham will make a concrete offer in January.
