Tottenham, Chelsea, and Brighton are interested in signing Roberto Fernandez, the center forward of Espanyol, for the upcoming winter transfer market. The Premier League is starting to make moves for another LaLiga star.

According to several important sources in England, the board of Spurs leads the interest in the Spanish international after scoring 6 goals in the first 7 matches of LaLiga.

Roberto De Zerbi's request for Tottenham's forward line

The 24-year-old forward signed for Espanyol in July 2025 and has a long-term contract valid until June 2031. The coach of the London team, Roberto De Zerbi, has asked the technical department for the arrival of a reference '9', placing the striker as the top target on his list after evaluating his sports reports since last season.

Spurs' scouts highlight the player's physical presence and direct style of play, which led to his first call-up and debut with the Spanish national team in the current international window.

Competition in the Premier League for the Spanish forward

Together with the offensive line of Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Brighton are gathering technical data on the forward's performance in Spanish football. Both clubs are seeking a young forward in a developmental phase to serve as an attacking reference in their respective rotations.

British analysts believe that the physical characteristics of the youth academy player suit the speed and intensity demands of the English competition.

Espanyol's conditions to sell Roberto Fernández in January

The board of Espanyol holds negotiation control with the valid contract signed until 2031. The blanquiazul hierarchy does not consider facilitating a mid-season exit for an amount below his release clause or an amount exceeding the market valuation of 20.00 million euros.

Meanwhile, the interested clubs are assessing the viability of making a formal offer in the first month of 2027 to avoid a bidding war in the summer market. Scouts sent by Tottenham, Chelsea, and Brighton will attend Espanyol's matches in LaLiga during October and November of 2026.

The three Premier League clubs are preparing offers to sign the Espanyol striker, who may be getting closer to packing his bags for England in January.
