Tottenham monitoring Bayer Leverkusen striker who ‘plays a bit like Hugo Ekitike’

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly tracking Bayer Leverkusen forward Christian Kofane ahead of the January transfer window. According to Football Insider, the Lilywhites are among several Premier League clubs, including Aston Villa and Everton, monitoring the 20-year-old Cameroonian international. Spurs are reportedly seeking attacking reinforcements under manager Roberto De Zerbi due to inconsistent goal production from current options Dominic Solanke and Omar Marmoush.

Kofane joined Leverkusen from Albacete in 2025 and scored seven goals across 44 appearances in his debut campaign. He has recorded two goals in four Bundesliga matches during the 2026/27 season, though he is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury. Leverkusen are reportedly reluctant to approve a mid-season departure despite growing transfer interest from English sides.
