Tottenham are showing an interest in signing a Chelsea star in the summer transfer window, as the Blues slap a £65 million asking price on his head.
Spurs look set to turn their attention to strengthening in the final third after bringing in reinforcements in other areas of the pitch.
Tottenham have already strengthened significantly in defence and in midfield, but they are yet to add bodies in attack.
Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Jan Paul van Hecke, Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi have all arrived through the door in the summer transfer window so far to strengthen their midfield and defence.
As we enter the final month of the window, we could see Tottenham heavily focused on signing a new forward.

According to a report from the Daily Mail, Tottenham are one of the sides showing an interest in signing Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson in the summer transfer window.
The report claims that Chelsea are demanding in the region of £65 million for Jackson to depart, with Aston Villa also one of the sides keen.
There has been no formal approach and club-to-club talks yet, but Spurs are currently considering the Senegalese international.
Roberto De Zerbi recently told reporters that their window was only 60% complete, so we could see some big signings through the door in the near future.

It certainly wouldn't be a surprise if Chelsea were willing to offload Jackson in the summer transfer window.
Jackson spent last season on loan at Bayern Munich, showing that he's clearly surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge.
Whether they would sell to a rival like Tottenham remains to be seen, especially given that they'll both likely be competing for European places next season.
The two clubs also have a location-based rivalry too, and it's not so often that you see players move between the two clubs.
Tottenham do need a striker, however, and Chelsea are hoping to get rid of Jackson, so it could be an interesting move.
