Tottenham Hotspur have just received some encouraging news in their pursuit of a winger who is thought to be at the top of their wishlist.
The big question for Tottenham is which winger they will focus their attention on, as it now appears that the Lilywhites are expected to fall short in their pursuit of Antoine Semenyo.
According to sources, one of the names at the top of the North London club’s wishlist is a 20-year-old who is viewed as one of the best young attackers in Serie A.
It emerged a couple of weeks ago that Juventus’ Kenan Yildiz would be a dream signing for Tottenham, who have keenly scouted the Turkish international.

A new report in TuttoJuve has now claimed that a tug-of-war is currently ongoing between Yildiz and Bianconeri over a contract renewal.
The youngster is thought to be demanding a salary of £5m per year to sign on the dotted line as he wants his wages to reflect his importance in the squad.
However, Juve are facing serious financial pressures and his demands are proving too much for the Serie A giants.
The report adds that Yildiz is not short of admirers, with the likes of Tottenham Hotspur willing to offer the Turk the salary he is demanding.

TuttoJuve say that the Lilywhites are not the only Premier League club chasing the winger, with Arsenal and Chelsea also willing to meet his salary demands.
The Gunners allegedly see Yildiz as a partner to Martin Odegaard to help build attacks, while the Blues have also been tracking the youngster closely.
The publication adds that Juve are still fighting to hang onto the versatile attacker, but they could be resigned to losing him in January if the contract talks do not reach the desired conclusion.
