As mentioned by a few supporters, the striker bagged just five goals over 30 appearances in Liga NOS last season and he earned a weak 6.47/10 average rating (per WhoScored).
Would you be happy if Spurs signed Haris Seferovic?
No, he's not good enough
Yes, he's a solid player
5 goals in Liga Nos last season ?
