Tottenham Hotspur have expressed an interest in signing an attacker who will be in World Cup quarterfinal action soon.
Having significantly strengthened their backline and their midfield since the start of the summer, the Lilywhites are now seemingly focused on strengthening their attack.
According to various reports, Spurs are now working on adding multiple attackers to their squad, with a new left-winger thought to be a priority for the Lilywhites.
Eli Junior Kroupi, Rafael Leao and Antonio Nusa have all been mooted as targets for Tottenham, and another winger has now been added to the North London club’s wishlist.
Tottenham battling Premier League rivals for Ruben Vargas
According to a report in Orgullo Biri (as relayed by Sport Witness), Spurs have expressed an interest in signing Sevilla winger Ruben Vargas.
The Switzerland international has two goals and an assist at the World Cup in five appearances, and will come up against defending champions Argentina in the quarterfinal on Sunday.
Spurs have been joined in the race for Vargas by Brighton & Hove Albion, who are also looking to add quality to their flanks.
The outlet claims that the 27-year-old is now ‘exploring the possibility of making the leap to the Premier League’, just 18 months on from his move to Sevilla.
Vargas is available for a discount
Orgullo Biri say Seville need to sell some players in order to improve their finances and offset their losses, with Vargas potentially among the candidates to be sold.
It is revealed that the Andalusian club are willing to sell the 27-year-old for just €15m (£12.7m).
That represents a massive bargain for a player with such vast experience, and neither the Seagulls nor the Lillywhites are expected to have issues meeting that price.
