Tottenham have opened talks to sign a Manchester City midfielder who Enzo Maresca's side are desperate to keep hold of.
Spurs have been one of the busiest sides in the summer transfer window so far, already securing six new additions to their squad.
It is no surprise that they have been incredibly active in the market after finishing 17th in the Premier League two seasons on the bounce.
They showed signs of improvement towards the end of the last campaign after Roberto De Zerbi was appointed, so it's no surprise that the board are looking to back him.
Tottenham looked like they were facing the serious threat of relegation before De Zerbi took over, but he managed to steer them back in the right direction.
Tottenham open midfielder talks
According to a report from TeamTalk, Tottenham are one of the sides to have opened talks to sign Manchester City midfielder Xavier Parker in the summer transfer window.
The Manchester club are believed to be desperate to keep hold of the 16-year-old talent, making him an 'outstanding' offer that is believed to be among the strongest financial packages to a player of his age in Europe.
Tottenham are believed to be in a race against eight other clubs to secure the signature of the young star, who is widely regarded as one of the best in his age group in English football.
Parker, described as a game-breaking midfielder, is yet to agree terms on a professional contract with City, which has alerted other clubs such as Tottenham.
Tottenham pushing for Kroupi
Tottenham are also pushing to secure the signature of Bournemouth forward Eli Jr Kroupi in the summer transfer window.
Reports have suggested that Tottenham are preparing to make an opening bid of around £75 million to sign the youngster after his breakthrough season with the Cherries.
Spurs are believed to be at the front of the queue for Kroupi as they are planning to offer him an immediate start and role.
Paris Saint-Germain are also believed to be interested in signing Kroupi, but with their star-studded attack, he is going to find it difficult to break into the starting eleven immediately.
