Tottenham are thought to be considering the signing another forward in the January transfer window to bolster Roberto De Zerbi's squad

One particular striker is quickly becoming one of Europe's hottest commodities. Club Brugge forward Nicolo Tresoldi, 22, is already at the centre of a three-way international scrap between Germany, Italy and Argentina, respectively.

It speaks volumes about his quality as he is widely regarded as one of the best young strikers in world football following his eye-catching displays in Belgium.

Last term, he rattled in 23 goals in 58 appearances and was tracked by several top clubs including Barcelona and Aston Villa.

But it's clear to see he is no one-season-wonder having already struck 14 times across all competitions this term, including five goals in the Champions League.

Tresoldi bashed in a hat-trick at San Siro as Club Brugge beat Inter Milan 4-3 in October. That wasn't even his first hat-trick of the season having also fired a treble for Germany U21s, who he captained, against Malta in September.

Then just a few weeks back, Tresoldi scored his third hat-trick of the season in a 3-2 win over Sint-Truidense.

A host of top European clubs including Barca, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich and Arsenal are said to be circling but Tottenham should strongly consider pushing for the player as soon as January.

They are thought to be weighing up strengthening their forward line having failed to find the target in five of their 10 Premier League matches.

Goals have been a problem with Omar Marmoush, Savio and Mohammed Kudus all struggling to fire alongside centre-forward Dominic Solanke.

The England international cost £65million in the summer of 2024 and has only mustered 13 Premier League goals since signing on the dotted line. There's a firm argument that now is the time to sign an upgrade.

Tresoldi could reportedly be available for close to half that figure. A €40million (£34m) price-tag has been mooted - the same figure Brugge received from Arsenal last summer for Christos Tzolis.

Brugge have done their fair share of selling in recent transfer windows and given they sit ninth in the Champions League standings having won three of their four games, they will be making a strong case to keep Tresoldi until the end of the season.

However, Premier League money ultimately talks. Tresoldi's finishing ability, potential, versatility, age and movement makes him a great potential option for Roberto De Zerbi and the Spurs hierarchy, who let goal machine Will Lankshear depart for Middlesbrough in the summer.

His goal record alone in recent seasons suggests he would be a clear upgrade on Solanke where hitting the back of the net is concerned, even if the Jupiler Pro League is not on the same level as the Premier League.

Jurgen Klopp is tracking Tresoldi closely and you can't help but feel he might already have made the senior Germany squad if he played for a bigger club.

For that reason, Tottenham could be the perfect landing spot for the young attacker to elevate his game to the next level.
