The Curious Case of Santiago Gimenez and the Premier League’s Transfer Market
The summer transfer window is heating up, and several Premier League clubs are eyeing top talent to bolster their squads. One player who has been making waves is Santiago Gimenez, the Mexican striker who has been impressing for Feyenoord. However, his performances for the national team have been a different story altogether.
Gimenez has been struggling to find his footing for Mexico, and his lack of goals has been a major concern. Despite his impressive form for Feyenoord, where he has scored 49 goals in two seasons, he has only managed four goals in 28 caps for his country. This has led to questions about his ability to perform at the highest level.
One of the main reasons behind Gimenez’s struggles for Mexico is the lack of competition for his place in the team. With Henry Martin out injured, Gimenez has been the only recognized striker in the squad, and this has put a lot of pressure on him. According to Luis Garcia, a former Mexico international, the lack of internal competition has been detrimental to Gimenez’s development.
Despite his struggles for Mexico, Gimenez is still a highly sought-after player in the transfer market. Several Premier League clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, are interested in signing him, and Feyenoord are willing to listen to offers. However, it remains to be seen whether Gimenez can overcome his struggles for Mexico and become a top player in the Premier League.

Zaha, who left Crystal Palace last year to join Galatasaray, is available for a cut-price deal, and the Hammers are keen to bring him back to the Premier League. With his Premier League experience and versatility, Zaha could be a great addition to West Ham’s squad.
