Tottenham Hotspur are now among the clubs most keen on signing a "spectacular" Champions League forward, but it could take a huge bid to tempt his club into a sale.
Spurs eyeing new forward with Semenyo set to join Man City
Tottenham are looking to sign a new forward in the upcoming transfer window, with AFC Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo being identified as a target, but it now appears as though the Ghanaian could be heading to a rival Premier League club.
Indeed, Manchester City have seemingly won the race for Semenyo, as a move to the Etihad Stadium would provide him with the platform to compete for major trophies.
Consequently, Spurs will presumably have to move on to alternative targets, and it was recently revealed that Man City ace Savinho has now emerged as a serious option.
However, the Lilywhites are also considering options from further afield, with a report from TEAMtalk revealing they are now among the clubs most keen on signing Juventus star Kenan Yildiz, alongside Chelsea, while Arsenal have also expressed an interest.
Yildiz is Tottenham's 'dream' attacking target, having emerged as one of football’s 'most exciting breakout talents', but it could take a huge bid to tempt the Italian club into sanctioning a sale, with a £88m price tag recently being touted.
The report also provides an update on the Turk's future at Juventus, with it stating the Serie A side's new sporting director, Marco Ottolini, is expected to open talks over a new contract, and there is an awareness the 20-year-old would prefer to remain in Turin.
"Spectacular" Yildiz could be solid Semenyo alternative
It is disappointing that Tottenham have seemingly missed out on Semenyo, as the Ghana international has already proven himself in England, scoring eight goals in 16 Premier League outings this term, while also providing three assists.
However, the Juventus star has proven that he could be a solid alternative, having put in some top performances this season, weighing in with five goals and four assists in 15 Serie A matches.
Scout Jacek Kulig has also waxed lyrical about the Germany-born starlet, lauding him for his ability to make "spectacular solo runs", which have been on display since making his breakthrough at Juventus.
