Therefore, they could be looking at Taremi as a replacement.<\/p>\n<p>The Iranian international has been in superb scoring form in recent years and managed 22 goals and seven assists in 33 league appearances last term.<\/p>\n<p>Tavolieri claims that AC Milan have made a move for Taremi already but both Lille and Tottenham are interested in signing him. The journalist adds that Porto are demanding a fee of around \u00a317m for Taremi and that he could leave in the summer window.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Battle for Taremi <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It seems Taremi is one of those players who is a late bloomer. His performances in recent years have been outstanding but it would still be a gamble for the likes of Arsenal, Man Utd or Tottenham to buy a soon-to-be 31-year-old who\u2019s never proven himself in England.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal are well stocked in their forward department but Mikel Arteta could still sign a new striker if Folarin Balogun leaves the club.<\/p>\n<p>Man United on the other hand are in dire need of a striker. Taremi could arrive at a decent price, but is he the type of player who can help the club close the gap on Man City?<\/p>\n<p>Spurs could be an interesting option for the Iranian striker, but Ange Postecoglou should look to build a strong side with young talented players who will have a good resale value.<\/p>\n<p>This is probably Taremi\u2019s best chance to secure a move to the Premier League, and he should grab opportunities with both hands if Arsenal, United, or Tottenham come calling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Football-talk.co.uk &#8211; LONDON, Tottenham have joined Arsenal and Manchester United in the race to sign&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26307,"featured_media":44730,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[84,212,93],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-49318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-c47-featured-news","category-iranian-legionnaires","category-c22-players-spotlight"],"views":617,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49318","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26307"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49318"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49318\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49319,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49318\/revisions\/49319"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
