Tottenham Hotspur are now in the race to sign an "unbelievable" forward from a rival Premier League club, according to a report.
Postecoglou keen to bring in new winger
Ange Postecoglou's side have seriously underperformed in the Premier League this season, sitting 14th in the table with just nine games left to play, so it is little wonder they are keen to bring in some reinforcements in the summer transfer window.
One position in which Spurs are clearly keen to strengthen is winger, and they have now taken the first step towards signing Feyenoord's Igor Paixao by making contact to discuss a deal for the Brazilian, who could be an upgrade on Son Heung-min.
Bayern Munich's Kingsley Coman is another name on the shortlist, and the Frenchman seems like he could be an attainable target, given that the German side are eager to sell him in the upcoming window.
However, another option from much closer to home is now entering the frame, with a report from The Boot Room revealing Tottenham are now interested in signing Chelsea winger Noni Madueke, who is facing an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues are now willing to sanction Madueke's departure this summer, and a move across the capital could be possible, with Spurs joining the race for his signature, alongside Newcastle United and Aston Villa.
The Lilywhites appreciate the Chelsea ace, who has a 100% win record when he's featured against Spurs, and the door could be open for a deal this summer, although there may be competition from AC Milan, who are now confident about getting a deal done.
The Italian side have submitted a £33m bid for the England international, who cost the Blues £30m back in 2023.
"Unbelievable" Madueke impressing at Chelsea
It seems a little harsh that Chelsea are willing to sell the 23-year-old this summer, given that he has put in some impressive performances this season, picking up seven goals and three assists in the Premier League.
That follows on from a solid 2023/24 campaign, during which he impressed former manager Mauricio Pochettino.
As a result of his attacking output, the former PSV Eindhoven man has performed very well on a range of attacking statistics over the past year, most notably impressing with his dribbling ability.
Chelsea's loss could be Tottenham's gain if they decide to part ways with Madueke this summer, given the level of some of his performances for the Blues, and at 23-years-old he is only likely to improve.
