Tottenham Hotspur target Nicolo Tresoldi enjoyed the night every striker dreams of. On Tuesday at the Giuseppe Meazza, the striker scored a hat-trick against Inter Milan, helping Club Brugge to a remarkable 4-3 win in the Champions League.

With a penalty in the 30th minute, an instinctive rebound finish in the 63rd, and a composed third 11 minutes later, the Germany Under-21 international left his mark and was named Man of the Match after Club Brugge’s emphatic victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League. The display at the Giuseppe Meazza has enhanced his reputation across Europe.

Arsenal leading race for Nicolo Tresoldi

According to Italian outlet Tuttosport, Tottenham are among the clubs monitoring Tresoldi. However, Arsenal are leading the race for the Club Brugge sensation’s signature.

Tresoldi has been in irresistible form this season, scoring nine goals in just 11 appearances across all competitions, and currently sits top of the Champions League scoring charts. The 22-year-old has already scored 32 goals in 69 games for Club Brugge since he arrived from Hannover last summer, and finished as top scorer in the 2025/26 Belgian Pro League season. Those numbers explain why he is becoming a coveted commodity in Europe.

Spurs have scouted Tresoldi several times, and them actively tracking the development of the talented striker alongside Arsenal sets up a potentially fierce battle between the North London rivals. Tottenham continues to search for high-upside talent to strengthen their attacking force, making the Club Brugge man an attractive profile for the recruitment team at Hotspur Way.

The 22-year-old has caught the eye of top European scouts following his physical and tactical growth in Belgian football. Known for his pace, physicality, movement and ruthless finishing, the Cagliari-born striker’s fortunes are on the rise. He is also notable for his incisive passes in the final third.

Winning the race for Tresoldi will require strategic planning from Tottenham given the stature of competing suitors. Arsenal are currently the favourites for the talented centre-forward’s signature, while Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona have also been credited with an interest.

As clubs monitor the German youth international’s development over the coming months, Tottenham decision-makers will need to evaluate whether to formalise their interest with a concrete offer when the transfer window opens in January. Under contract at Club Brugge until 2029, Tresoldi is not in a hurry to leave, however, and his club are in a position of strength.
