It's not Real Madrid or Atletico, the unexpected club that could sign Santiago Gimenez

One of the forwards of the moment is definitely Santiago Gimenez. The Dutch footballer hopes to position himself in the best possible way this season and the reality is that many expect the player to be a period striker, mainly in Mexico, where the hope is in the sky because there have already been several years without a leading forward since Chicharito.

Fulham have set their sights on Feyenoord star striker Santiago Gimenez, sources have told Football Insider. Cottagers scouts were on hand to observe the 22-year-old attacker's performance in the clash against Celtic at Parkhead last Wednesday, cementing him as a top player on the club's target list.

Santiago Giménez has shone in the 2023-24 season, scoring 20 goals and four assists in 20 appearances in all competitions. Despite the 2-1 defeat to Celtic in the Champions League, Gimenez contributed with an assist, cementing his reputation as one of the most coveted forwards in Europe.

The level that Fulham is experiencing this season

The Mexican international has also attracted the attention of Chelsea, being one of the three forwards closely monitored by the London club ahead of the January transfer window. With a newly renewed contract that ties him to Feyenoord until June 2027, Giménez has become a key figure in the Dutch team, scoring 28 goals last season. Despite Fulham's recent scoring streak, scoring five goals in each of their last two Premier League games, Marco Silva's side are looking to strengthen their attacking front.
