Tottenham Hotspur had a memorable transfer window after adding the likes of Mohammed Kudus, Xavi Simons and Joao Palhinha to their side among others - but they aren't stopping there in preparation for future windows, with Sevilla winger Ruben Vargas thought to be in their sights ahead of a potential move to the English capital.
The report by Football Insider states that Spurs have identified a new winger to strengthen their squad after Manchester City blocked a move for Savinho, with Vargas being their latest target.
Report: Tottenham 'Set Sights' on Sevilla Star Ruben Vargas
It's believed that Spurs have 'set their sights' on the Sevilla winger, who has emerged as one of the names on their radar to strengthen in the wide areas of the pitch, having missed out on the silky Brazilian over the course of the summer window as well as Eberechi Eze, who joined local rivals Arsenal after they hijacked Spurs' move for his services.
Although a winger may not be a priority for the Lilywhites, given the arrival of Xavi Simons and the development of Wilson Odobert, Mathys Tel and Richarlison has negated their need for a winger, especially with Mikey Moore set to return from his loan spell at Rangers at the end of the campaign.
But Vargas would be an astute addition to their ranks, even though he only joined Sevilla back in January. The Swiss star came through the youth ranks at Luzern, before moving to Bundesliga outfit Augsburg in 2019, where he became a star in Germany with 22 goals in 161 appearances at the Augsburg Arena.

That prompted a move to Spain, where he made 11 appearances last season. And, with a goal and three assists in four games for the Andalusian outfit already in La Liga this time around, he'd be a great addition to Tottenham's ranks if he can hit the ground running. Vargas has drawn comparisons to football legend Diego Maradona for a goal he scored that mimicked the Argentine's mazy run vs England at the 1986 World Cup.
Spurs have made a solid start to the current campaign, being one of just four sides to have racked up a minimum of ten points from their opening five games, and as the second-highest scoring side in the league, Frank has certainly got a tune out of his players as well as being successful in the Champions League with a 1-0 win over La Liga outfit Villarreal. If they can continue their strong form in both domestic competition and in Europe, Vargas could be chomping at the bit to join the north London outfit.
