REPORT: Tottenham Target Krzysztof Piatek Set To Sign For Hertha Berlin<\/h2>\n

Permanent Deal<\/h3>\n

Piatek’s move to Hertha Berlin is set to be on a permanent basis, despite having only joined AC Milan<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n

Milan reportedly rejected Tottenham’s approach for the 24-year-old due to the Premier League side only offering a loan deal.<\/p>\n

Tottenham were keen on a short-term deal due to Harry Kane’s<\/a> predicted return being mid-April. As a result, Jose Mourinho was not keen on a multi-million pound signing.<\/p>\n

Looking To Regain Form<\/h3>\n

The Polish international made the move to the San Siro following a prolific first half of the 2018-19 season for previous club Genoa.<\/p>\n

Piatek scored 19 goals in 21 games for Genoa before joining AC Milan last January; following his arrival at the San Siro, he scored 11 goals in 21 games.<\/p>\n

However, he is struggled for form so far this season, with just five goals to his name.<\/p>\n

Piatek has been rotated with fellow forwards Rafael Leao<\/a> and Ante Rebic<\/a> for much of the season. Furthermore, since the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic<\/a>, he has seen his game time cut even further by manager Stefano Pioli.<\/p>\n

Krzysztof Piatek Is A Major Signing For Hertha Berlin<\/h3>\n

The arrival of Krzysztof Piatek at Hertha Berlin is a major signing for the Bundesliga side.<\/p>\n

He will become the club’s record signing, beating the previous record only recently set by the signing of Lucas Tousart<\/a> from Lyon.<\/p>\n

Berlin are currently just 13th in the Bundesliga, having collected 22 points from 19 games.<\/p>\n

However, Hertha Berlin boss Jurgen Klinsmann will be hoping that his side can maintain their good run of form. They have won three of their past five games, including a late 2-1 victory away to Wolfsburg in their previous game.<\/p>\n
