According to GiveMeSport, Tottenham Hotspur are ready to push ahead with a big move for RB Leipzig sensation Lois Openda.
Openda has taken the Bundesliga by storm since his switch from Lens last summer, with the striker finding the back of the net 28 times across all competitions and providing several assists (Transfermarkt).
Lois Openda enjoyed a prolific season with RB Leipzig
After firing Leipzig to the Champions League, it has now been suggested that Tottenham are ready to try to prise the Belgian international away from the Red Bull Arena this summer.
GiveMeSport claim that Spurs are eyeing a major squad overhaul and would be prepared to spend well over £100m as they eye four of five new additions to their squad.

A centre-forward is said to be one of the North London club’s top priorities, with Ange Postecoglou’s men willing to put a significant amount of their budget towards a move for Openda.
However, the report explains that the Lilywhites are not putting all their eggs in the Leipzig star’s basket and have identified alternatives should a deal for the 24-year-old fall through.
Feyenoord’s Santiago Gimenez and Stuttgart’s Serhour Guirassy are thought to be among the backups on Tottenham’s list.
Spurs Web Opinion
It is unclear who Tottenham’s top striker target is going to be. I personally believe that Postecoglou will want a versatile striker who can play across the front three, which is why Openda would be a much better fit than the likes of Gimenez or Guirassy.
Ivan Toney should also not be ruled out as a target considering his track record of delivering in the Premier League.
