Tottenham are being linked with Napoli striker Arkadiusz Milik.
The Serie A side are looking to sell Milik this summer, who has just entered the final year of his contract with them, and there are hopes that Spurs, who do not have much money to spend in the current window, could acquire him cheaply.
The 26-year old is the latest name to be touted for the role of back-up to Harry Kane, and comes as another man on their shortlist, Ollie Watkins, signed from Aston Villa from Brentford instead.
Milik joined Napoli from Ajax in 2016 and has scored 48 times in 122 appearances for them. He was part of the team that won the Italian Cup last season. He has played 51 times for Poland, scoring 14 goals in the process.
This is not the first time he has been linked with Spurs. As a 16-year old he was invited for a trial with them but opted to stay in Poland instead.
