Despite Said El Mala’s canceled move to Brentford FC, the 1. FC Köln winger could end up in London this summer. “Sport Bild” reports that there are some indications that Tottenham Hotspur will soon attack the 19-year-old. So far, after relegating from the league at the last minute, the Spurs have focused their transfer efforts primarily on the defense, which was shaky last season.

El Mala could become part of the north Londoners’ new offensive. It is said that coach Roberto De Zerbi would have liked the scouting findings about one of the shooting stars of the last Bundesliga season. In his first season in the German top flight, the left winger scored 13 goals and five assists in 36 games, increased his market value from 3 million to 45 million euros and was nominated for the German national team for the first time. But it wasn’t enough for a place in the World Cup squad.
The Effzeh should not set a deadline for El Mala and those around him to make a decision, because the youngster’s move is about the record deal for the billy goats. Never in the club’s history have they earned more than 29 million euros from the sale of a player. El Mala is supposed to pulverize this sum. Brentford was recently willing to pay a basic fee of 45 million euros, plus smaller, easily attainable bonuses. In addition, Cologne would have received a resale share of 15 percent. But El Mala’s mother and advisor canceled. The Bees were not the right club.
Kaminski’s release clause at 1. FC Köln is apparently limited
Brighton was also considered interested in El Mala, but withdrew from poker due to the high financial demands. Nevertheless, an FC professional could end up on the south coast of England this summer: Jakub Kaminski. The 24-year-old was recently signed for 5.5 million euros, but has an exit clause in his new working paper. The Pole should be able to leave Cologne quickly for around 20 million euros.

According to the report, this contract option is limited. A change must take place by mid-July. The transfer fee would then have to be freely negotiated between the clubs again. Kaminski is said to be able to easily imagine a transfer to the Seagulls with coach Fabian Hürzeler. Most recently he had already said: “My dream was always to play in the Bundesliga, but after 104 games and four seasons, my next dream is the Premier League. It’s the best league in the world, I would like to prove myself there and test my strengths.”
The offensive player collected twelve scorer points in the past Bundesliga season. Statistically, this is by far the best season since his €10 million transfer from Lech Posen to Wolfsburg in the summer of 2022. Things went less smoothly for Kaminski there; he needed three seasons at VfL to achieve the same number of goals. The market value of the 31-time national player fell from 10 million to 5 million euros before he went to FC. In the cathedral city, Kaminski found his old form and increased his market value to his career high of 17 million euros. He was not only the long-running favorite among Cologne’s outfield players, but also among the entire Bundesliga attackers.
