Tottenham have shown an interest in Midtjylland forward Franculino ahead of the January window.

Who is Tottenham target Franculino?
Midtjylland’s number seven has proven to be a key figure in the Superligaen this campaign, having already contributed to 17 goals.
Franculino has only played in 15 league games, proving just how potent he is in front of goal right now.
Those have contributed to part of his 22-goal involvements across all competitions, to add to his previous 42 in the last two campaigns.
At just 21 years old, the former Benfica youngster has plenty of room to grow and clearly has the talent to improve with opportunities in the Premier League.
Frank could tempt the forward to North London and utilise his talents, but he will have to beat Roma to the punch when the January window opens.
