Tottenham are reportedly lining up a move which could finally give Harry Kane some quality support in the striking department.
According to Italian journalist Nicolo Schria, who The Express describes as a “transfer expert”, Spurs retain an interest in Arkadiusz Milik who he expects to leave Napoli if he doesn’t sign a new deal this summer.

The 26-year-old enters the last year of his contract in June so could be available at a reasonable price, particularly considering the anticipated state of the market in the midst of Covid-19. Transfermarkt.com values him at £28.8m but Napoli may be forced to sell him for less as few clubs across Europe are in a position to let players run their contracts down.
Our previous policy for providing back-up for Kane has either been to gamble on an unproven youngster, your N’Jies and your Janssens, or settle for a rusty veteran like Llorente, or January target Olivier Giroud. Whereas Milik is a striker at his peak, scoring 12 in 17 starts for Napoli last season. He could provide cover for Kane but also justify playing alongside him, which is a weapon in our arsenal that we’ve been missing for too long.
