Tottenham Hotspur have now joined the race to sign an "incredible" Manchester City forward during the January transfer window.

Spurs looking to raid Man City this winter

Despite scoring the winning goal in the Europa League final last season, Brennan Johnson is now set to leave Tottenham and join Crystal Palace, as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano.

Consequently, Spurs will need to bring in a new forward this month, and several Man City players have now emerged as targets, with it being revealed they have been pushing to sign Omar Marmoush.

Savinho is also an option for the Lilywhites, and they are preparing a new offer for the Brazilian winger, having failed in their attempts to lure him to north London back in the summer.

Yet another City player has also emerged as an option, according to a report from TEAMtalk, which states Tottenham have been looking at signing a number of attackers, who could give them a boost in the second half of the season, including Oscar Bobb.

Spurs are ready for an active January transfer window, despite there being an awareness that deals done this month will be on the expensive side, and they have money available.

Bobb is one of many potential targets for the north Londoners, who are also looking at the likes of Juventus star Kenan Yildiz and RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande, but there are indications the City ace could be an exciting addition to Thomas Frank's squad...

"Incredible" Bobb could flourish at Tottenham

The Oslo-born winger has found it difficult to force his way into Pep Guardiola's plans this season, but he has impressed at times since breaking into the first team, scoring against Al Ain in the Club World Cup back in the summer.

Once lauded as "incredible" by Pep, the Norway international has also caught the eye when playing for his country, chipping in with an assist in a 4-1 victory against Italy back in November, while he has also scored two goals in 16 appearances.

At just 22-years-old, the winger is not as established as Marmoush, who made an impressive start to life at Man City after joining during the last January transfer window, picking up seven goals and two assists in 16 outings.
