Tottenham and Fulham are set to battle for the signature of Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy in the January window, sources have told Football Insider<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Football Insider <\/strong>revealed on Friday (27 October) that a striker is the top priority for Fulham with Marco Silva expected to be given funds to spend in the winter window.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fulham are among the lowest scorers in the Premier League and are yet to replace talisman Aleksandar Mitrovi\u0107 after his summer move to Al-Hilal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Tottenham are also keeping tabs on red-hot striker Guirassy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Guinea international, who is currently out injured with a hamstring problem, has a release clause of around \u00a315million in his Stuttgart contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has been more prolific than Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane in the Bundesliga this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guirassy has managed 14 goals and one assist across eight games in the German top-flight, while the ex-Tottenham man has hit nine goals and contributed four assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He only joined Stuttgart permanently this summer after a successful loan spell at the German outfit last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 27-year-old, who was coveted by Premier League sides during his time in France, signed a contract running until June 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guirassy, who has scored twice in eight appearances for Guinea, is expected to go to the African Cup of Nations with his country in the new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fulham\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fulham sit 13th in the Premier League and are not currently in relegation danger despite their dismal scoring record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Tottenham sit top of the English top-flight after nine games – leading second-place Man City by two points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
