Tottenham Hotspur potentially face the prospect of competition from London rivals for three of their winger targets in January.
According to reports, Spurs have now given up on Antoine Semenyo after it became clear that the Bournemouth winger prefers moving to Manchester City or Liverpool.
Over the past week, a number of exciting young wingers have been put forward as Semenyo alternatives for Tottenham.
However, the Lilywhites have now learned that one of their fiercest rivals have a very similar January shopping list.
Chelsea are big fans of £87m-rated Tottenham target
Over recent weeks, plenty of outlets have claimed that Spurs have held advanced talks over Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, who has been dominating defences in the Bundesliga this term.
CaughtOffside now report that Chelsea’s scouts have been tracking Diomande for a long time, even prior to his move to Leipzig.
However, it is pointed out that the Bundesliga club’s €100m (£87m) asking price for the 19-year-old poses a big problem for the Blues, who do not want to overspend in January.
Chelsea eyeing two more Spurs targets
CaughtOffside claim that the Blues’ priority is to sign an elite right-footed forward in January, and two of their other targets are also names who are on Tottenham’s wishlist.
Enzo Maresca’s men are said to be keeping a close eye on Juventus’ Kenan Yildiz, who has been described as a ‘dream signing’ for Tottenham.
The West London club are big fans of Leicester City winger, Jeremy Monga, whose performances in the Championship have allegedly caught Spurs’ eye.
