Tottenham identify Freiburg striker Igor Matanovic amid early-season scoring problems

Published on: 13 November 2026

Tottenham are monitoring Freiburg forward Igor Matanovic as they assess possible additions to their attack.

The 23-year-old Croatia striker is understood to be among the players admired by the Tottenham hierarchy, with the club considering whether to pursue a transfer. Journalist Ben Jacobs reports that Matanovic has attracted the interest of the Premier League side.

Matanovic scored 15 goals in all competitions last season and has already found the net eight times during the current campaign.

He has scored four goals and provided one assist in nine Bundesliga appearances this season. Standing at 196cm, Matanovic offers a strong aerial presence and is capable of competing effectively for high balls.

Tottenham’s interest comes as Roberto De Zerbi’s side look for greater attacking output. They have scored only 10 goals in their opening 10 Premier League matches.
