Tottenham are firmly in the race to sign Kenan Yildiz from Juventus, according to Alasdair Gold of Football London.
Spurs are looking for attacking reinforcements as they look to bolster Thomas Frank's forward line ahead of the second half of the campaign.
Currently, in the bottom half of the table, Tottenham have serious work to do if they're to qualify for Europe this time around.
Having already sold Brennan Johnson to Crystal Palace for £35million this month and losing Mohammed Kudus, Spurs are struggling for attacking threat having failed to score from open play in almost 10 hours.
Tottenham Join Kenan Yildiz Chase
Tottenham's search for a new forward has led them to Turin with Kenan Yildiz a target.
Writing for Football London, Alasdair Gold wrote: "Tottenham are among the long line of clubs interested in Juventus' Kenan Yildiz but Italian media believe the 20-year-old is set to sign a new contract in Turin."
A left-sided forward, the 20-year-old has scored 23 goals and provided 18 assists in 108 appearances for Juventus, having progressed through the Bayern Munich youth ranks.
Hailed as a 'future Ballon d'Or winner', Yildiz has a contract that runs until the summer of 2029, with clubs circling to offer him improved terms.
But as per Gold's update, it's believed that the winger could still sign a new deal with the Serie A giants.
Tottenham Need Goals
While a deal to sign Yildiz could be hard to pull off, it shouldn't detract from how desperate Tottenham are for attacking reinforcements.
Goals have been really hard to come by for Thomas Frank's side this term with injuries and a lack of form leading to a somewhat blunt attack and a side who are languishing in mid-table.
Letting Johnson leave might prove to be the right decision in the long run, but as a player who has a decent goalscoring record for both Spurs and Nottingham Forest, it feels like a gamble to let him leave when options are so limited.
With Frank under increasing pressure in north London, Tottenham need to recruit well in January and that means signing a forward who can find the back of the net. The frustration is how many forwards are already at the club with none of them proving themselves as reliable options in terms of form or fitness.
