Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly readying a bid to sign a La Liga forward who has a £50 million release clause.
Ange Postecoglou was left short in attacking areas last season which ultimately led to Timo Werner being snapped up on loan in January.
The German forward’s stay at Tottenham has been extended by a further year but Spurs are expected to bolster the Aussie’s attacking options further.
Injuries to Manor Solomon and Ivan Perisic last season also left Postecoglou short, with the latter recently departing on a free transfer.
Sporting CP’s Marcus Edwards has been linked with a return to north London while Genoa’s Albert Gudmundsson is a wide forward of interest.
But Mundo Deportivo claims that Spurs are reading a move for another target who is also on Liverpool and Manchester United’s radar.

Tottenham readying bid to sign Takefusa Kubo
The outlet claims that Tottenham are keen to snapping up Real Sociedad forward Takefusa Kubo this summer.
Spurs are ready to launch a bid to sign the Japanese star, who has also received approaches from four other Premier League sides.
Kubo has a release clause worth around €60 million (£50.7 million) and interestingly, it’s noted that Real Madrid currently hold 100 per cent of the forward’s economic rights after his move to Sociedad in July 2022.
Kubo once lauded as ‘world-class’ by Barcelona legend Xavi
Kubo has enjoyed an encouraging campaign with Sociedad after having a hand in 12 goals in 41 appearances.
The 22-year-old has benefited massive from his move away from Real Madrid and is beginning to display his undoubted potential.
A product of the Barcelona youth academy, Kubo has also received high praise from former Barcelona boss Xavi.
“Trust me, Kubo is world class player,” he said. “With and without the ball, he’s top top level. He scores goals and provides assists.
“Kubo’s time at La Masia for Barca? I wasn’t at the club at the time but we will come across these situations, for sure.”
