Yet to find the striker they want to help in Harry Kane’s absence for the second half of the season, Tottenham continue to probe around Europe for the right man.
Willian José appeared to be the favourite for a while, but we’re now back to Krzysztof Piątek, who continues to be linked with a move away from Milan since Zlatan Ibrahimović’s return to San Siro.
There’s been a number of stories involving Spurs, with the latest from Poland claiming José Mourinho held a video conference with the striker, but there was still no offer from the Premier League side.
Perhaps one of the reasons for that is because Daniel Levy knows exactly how much he needs to pay, as Corriere dello Sport claim the two clubs ‘are in agreement on the price: €28m’.

West Ham also keen, both clubs have asked for information. Feels like a last minute option if other deals fail.https://t.co/vfPy3ucqS3 #thfc #coys #whufc #coyi — Sport Witness (@Sport_Witness) January 28, 2020
However, before an offer is made, the Tottenham chairman appears to be using his normal tactics of trying to reduce the price by ‘wanting to offer a technical counterpart (a player) with a cash adjustment’.
Milan, down their end, ‘don’t appear convinced by this counteroffer’.
There’s no indication as to who that player might be, but with Ricardo Rodriguez potentially going to Napoli, perhaps it’s a left back?
