Tottenham Hotspur in crisis will try to recruit Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) striker Lee Kang-in (25) again. However, it is a situation where remaining in the English Premier League (EPL) must be premised.

Britain's "Team Talk" reported on the 12th (local time) that "Tottenham will re-enter the competition to recruit talented PSG striker Lee Kang-in this summer."

"Lee Kang-in has not yet signed a new contract with PSG, the Ligue 1 giant," the media said. "In addition to Tottenham, several Premier League clubs are watching his situation."

Lee Kang-in currently has about two years left on his contract with PSG. Despite PSG's long-term wish to renew his contract, he is reportedly slowly proceeding with negotiations, weighing various options.

"Lee Kang-in is highly regarded among coach Luis Enrique and the team based on his unique versatility and technical capabilities despite uncertain contract conditions," the media said. "It is a resource that feels comfortable when playing as a second striker as well as a winger on both sides." Lee Kang-in has three goals and four assists despite limited selection opportunities this season.

According to the media, Tottenham has already seriously tried to recruit Lee Kang-in in the winter transfer market in January. It still maintains a strong interest.

However, due to the current situation of the team on the verge of relegation, it is expected that full-fledged recruitment funds can be invested only when the survival of the first division next season is confirmed. Tottenham is not the only interest in Lee Kang-in. Several EPL powerhouses are closely watching. The media said, "Not only Tottenham, but also a number of clubs, including Arsenal and Chelsea, Aston Villa and Newcastle United, who usually have an eye on Lee Kang-in, are also watching his moves to strengthen the offense."

Currently, Tottenham has fallen into a severe slump in the EPL and has fallen to 16th place, near the relegation zone, making it impossible to guarantee its survival in the EPL. Coach Igor Tudor, who took the helm after the dismissal of Thomas Frank, also lost all four games since taking office. In particular, he was defeated 2-5 in the first round of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) round of 16 against Atletico Madrid recently.

It is natural for the club to experience serious confusion internally. The leadership of the club is deeply agonizing over the early replacement of interim coach Tudor, who has been in a losing streak since the beginning of his appointment. Former Nottingham Forest manager Sean Dyche is reportedly considering replacing Tudor.
