Tottenham look at Gabon's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as a cut-price signing
Tottenham Hotspur are casting a net high and wide in a search for cut-price signings. The Luka Modric saga is continuing meaning that Andre Villas Boas doesn't have that money to spend yet, original targets are being replaced by cheaper alternatives and that's how Gabon international Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been brought into the picture.
Le 10 Sport in France say that Spurs are targeting the player as a cheaper alternative to Loic Remy who got cold feet about a proposed moved to Spurs earlier in the summer. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a 23 year old forward who currently plays for Saint-Étienne in Ligue 1.
The Gabon international was born in France and spent his youth career with AC Milan before he made the permament move to Saint-Étienne after loan spells with Dijon, Monaco and Lille. He has a good scoring record with his current club and it will be that which has caught Tottenham's eye.
Le 10 say that Saint-Étienne aren't keen to sell the player this summer, he's only been with them for just over 18 months, but that a 'persuasive' offer from Tottenham would tempt them to change their mind. It's unlikely a bid would need to get into double figures and the club could bring him in without having to worry about their wage structure.
