Tottenham and West Ham risk missing out on 28-goal striker as interested club push for £15m deal

• EXCLUSIVE from Graeme Bailey

Borussia Dortmund are pushing to seal the signing of VFB Stuttgart forward Serhou Guirassy this summer, HITC understands.

This summer looks set to be a busy one with a host of top level strikers potentially on the market this summer with a plethora of top sides in need of a new centre-forward.

One of the forwards who could be available this summer is Stuttgart foward Serhou Guirassy, who has had a superb season in the Bundesliga.

As Borussia Dortmund are preparing for next week’s Champions League final, it seems the German side are also working on their transfer plans with a move for Guirassy a distinct possibility.

Guirassy interest

HITC understands that Dortmund are the side who have made the most progress when it comes to the signing of the forward this summer but a host of Premier League clubs are also interested.

West Ham United, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are understood to be keen on Guirassy, but it seems the German side have stolen a march on these English clubs.

The Guinea forward is understood to be available for just £15 million this summer, which has naturally led to a host of sides, who are short of a striker, to be interested.

HITC has been told that West Ham, Newcastle, Tottenham and United – who have all shown an interest in recent months – have all been made aware that if they want the player, they will have to make their move sooner rather than later.

Dortmund’s transfer plans

The German side have had a brilliant season and it seems they are already working on their summer plans with HITC reporting that they are keen on signing Ian Maatsen from Chelsea and Jadon Sancho from United on permanent deals.

Both of these players have made a big impact in Dortmund and a new centre-forward could well complete the puzzle with Guirassy, who has netted 28 times in the Bundesliga this season, potentially being a good fit at the German giants.

Guirassy has had an extraordinary season in the Bundesliga and a move to Dortmund could continue his upward progress. If Sancho were to remain at Dortmund next season, which is understood to be his intention, a lethal linkup with Guirassy could be formed.
