Tottenham Hotspur have set their eyes on a young South American starlet, who is also on the radars of some of their London rivals.
Roberto De Zerbi has been given plenty of power to shape the Tottenham squad the way he wants to, and one would expect wholesale changes at N17 this summer if they stay up.
One would expect the Italian to prioritise strengthening Spurs’ attack, with the Lilywhites lacking a cutting edge in the final third all campaign.
It has now been claimed that Spurs could turn a young Argentine starlet, who is continuing to hit the headlines in his country.
Tottenham’s interest in Ian Subiabre has caused panic at River Plate
It first emerged last summer that Tottenham explored a move for Ian Subiabre following his impressive performances in the Club World Cup.
According to a new report in El Intransigente, the North London club’s interest in the teenage winger has not gone away. In fact, Spurs are ready to ‘accelerate’ their interest in Subiabre.
The Lilywhites’ entry into the transfer race has ‘set off alarm bells’ at River Plate, especially after another unnamed German club also made contact to ask about the youngster.

The report adds that Subiabre’s entourage are not ruling out a big move in the summer and are currently analysing offers.
How much will Subiabre cost this summer?
El Intransigente reveal that River Plate are ‘standing firm’ and do not wish to let their star attacker leave in the summer.
The Argentine club are well protected since Subiabre’s current deal runs until 2028, and he has a €100m (£87.2m) release clause in his deal.
