Tottenham Hotspur are now willing to make an opening bid of £13m for a Premier League forward, according to a report.
Spurs set sights on new forward
As we approach the summer transfer window, Tottenham have stepped up their pursuit of a new winger, and they are particularly fond of AFC Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo, with the Ghanaian catching the eye in the Premier League this season.
Daniel Levy is now readying a £50m+ bid to sign the Bournemouth star, which would be enough to convince the Cherries to cash-in, and there is a belief that he would be a perfect fit in Ange Postecoglou's side.
With Son Heung-min now arguably in the twilight years of his career at 32-years-old, the need to bring in at least one new winger this summer is exacerbated, and Spurs are in the race to sign Celtic forward Daizen Maeda.
According to a report from Spain, Tottenham are also looking at signing an up-and-coming Premier League talent, namely Leicester City's Jake Evans, who has managed to force himself into first-team contention this season at just 16-years-old.
Such is their level of interest in the teenager, Spurs are willing to submit an opening offer of €15m (£13m), which is considered a significant fee, given his age, although there could be competition for his signature from Manchester United.
Leicester also have no desire to sanction a departure this summer, as they believe he could make an impact in the Championship next season, so it could be difficult to get a deal over the line.
"Very exciting" Evans is one for the future
Despite only featuring briefly in both games, it is very impressive that the youngster has managed to make two appearances for Leicester this season at the age of just 16, and it indicates that he could have a very bright future ahead of him.
Those thoughts are echoed by football scout Ben Mattinson, who has praised the starlet for his finishing ability, while also claiming he could be capable of playing at striker.
The young Englishman has also been prolific in front of goal at youth level this season, netting ten goals in 14 Premier League 2 outings, which also demonstrates that he may be able to play in a central role.
£13m is a large fee for such a young player, but there are plenty of signs that Evans could go on to be a top player in the Premier League.
