Tottenham Hotspur have sorted out the future of their first-team by appointing Roberto De Zerbi on a long-term contract, and now attentions off the pitch has turned to potential signings.

The north London club currently sit just one point above the relegation zone with seven games remaining of the campaign, but the Italian manager is confident that he can keep the team in the Premier League, and then wants to build a squad in his image to ensure this isn't repeated next time around.

One of the priority positions for Spurs to target is the striker department, and it has now emerged that the club are closely monitoring a young German to come in and cure their goalscoring issues.

Tottenham Eyeing Tresoldi Deal

Nicolo Tresoldi has been one of the standout performers for Club Brugge this season, netting 21 goals in all competitions, and according to Sky Sports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, that has caught the attention of Spurs.

The 21-year-old, who has been described as 'outstanding', is expected to leave Brugge this summer and has attracted the attention of a number of clubs across Europe, including Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, Serie A sides, and even Arsenal.

Spurs are understood to be monitoring the situation ahead of the summer window, with any deal for the Germany youth international, who can also represent Italy or Argentina, expected to cost around €30m (£26.1m).

With Randal Kolo Muani's loan move not expected to be made permanent, and Richarlison expected to move on in the final year of his contract, a new, younger striker option could be set to arrive and make a claim for the starting spot ahead of Dominic Solanke.

Would Tresoldi Fit De Zerbi's Style?

De Zerbi's style is known to be relatively complex and has very specific demands, which makes the transfer window very important for what he wants to build.

Tottenham have been looking at players while managerless that could strengthen the squad, but now that De Zerbi has been given some control in the market, it remains to be seen if they push ahead with this move.
