Tottenham are stepping up their interest in transfer targets, as a report from BILD claims that a winger is back on the club's radar for this summer.

Spurs have already wasted no time in trying to strengthen Roberto De Zerbi's squad, adding the free signings of Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi, while progress is being made to try and sign Savinho and Jan Paul van Hecke.

However, after the head coach claimed that "only ten to 12" players were good enough to play for the Lilywhites, there is still work to be done.

That is why Tottenham continue to push forward with a few other key moves, with a winger seemingly on the shortlist for a switch this summer.

Jean-Matteo Bahoya Transfer Move

According to a report from BILD, via Sports Witness, Tottenham are described as "particularly interested" in a move to sign Jean-Matteo Bahoya from Eintracht Frankfurt this summer.

It comes as the Bundesliga outfit are looking to raise funds in the transfer market, with the 21-year-old winger listed as one of three players who could be available in the coming weeks.

North London rivals Arsenal were linked with a potential move for Bahoya, but the report suggests that the Gunners may well have walked away from a move.

The French winger has impressed over the past season, with promising performances in the Bundesliga and the Champions League, suggesting he could become even better in the future.

Bahoya has been described as "unbelievably fast", potentially adding an injection of pace that Tottenham need in the forward line moving forward.

That said, it remains to be seen whether an offer will be lodged in the coming days and weeks of the market.

Tottenham Transfer Challenge

While Bahoya may be a promising option for Tottenham, the priority has to be on improving the base quality of the team, not the potential for the future.

Spurs have plenty of young players who could become great, but miss that consistent quality that can often be found with the stars who have experience, particularly in the Premier League.

This approach in signing the likes of Robertson, Senesi, and Van Hecke shows that the club know this, but the same must come from the forward areas.

Manchester United used this effectively last year, with the signings of Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha for the forward line.

While Savinho has some experience, he still lands more on the side of potential, meaning that Spurs should look to land more immediate forward quality.
