Tottenham have seemingly been given a major lift in their chase for a new striker before the window shuts, with a prolific frontman pushing for a move to the Premier League.

All the focus since Harry Kane quit the club for Bayern Munich has been on the club’s search for a replacement, especially after Richarlison’s below-par performance in the 2-2 draw at Brentford last weekend.

The £60million Brazilian scored just once in the league last season and there are major concerns that he will not even manage half the goals Kane scored last season in a hugely disappointing campaign for the club.
