Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly ramping up their interest in Rennes forward Arnaud Kalimuendo as Thomas Frank begins shaping his squad for the new era in North London, according to L’Equipe.
Spurs broke the bank to sign Dominic Solanke last summer, but while the striker helped the team clinch the Europa League, his domestic form left fans wanting more. With Richarlison frequently sidelined and linked with a summer exit, reinforcements are very much on the agenda.
Now under the guidance of Thomas Frank, Tottenham are accelerating their pursuit of 23-year-old Kalimuendo. The Frenchman, valued at around £19 million, is entering the final two years of his contract—prompting Rennes to consider cashing in while they can.
Kalimuendo impressed last season, netting 18 goals and providing three assists across all competitions. Despite Rennes’ struggles, his individual output caught the eye of multiple clubs, with Newcastle United and Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen also circling.
A product of PSG’s youth academy, Kalimuendo brings pace, clever link-up play, and sharp instincts in front of goal. While not the tallest forward, his versatility and technical skill make him a valuable attacking asset.
Tottenham’s interest signals a proactive approach to squad building this summer—and if they move swiftly, Kalimuendo could be the next exciting piece in their attacking puzzle.
