Tottenham Hotspur are being linked with Napoli striker Arkadiusz Milik.

Tottenham Hotspur may have made a couple of signings in January, but they failed to bring in the major signing Jose Mourinho wanted – a new striker.

With Harry Kane injured, Spurs were left without a senior centre forward, despite links to a whole host of potential signings in that area of the pitch.

Kane’s absences has been compounded by injuries to Son Heung-min and January signing Steven Bergwijn, and Tottenham are already being linked with potential striker signings for the summer.

Calcio Napoli 24 claim that Tottenham are in the race to sign Napoli attacker Arkadiusz Milik, with Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Valencia all keen.

Milik would allegedly cost €45million (£40million), with Napoli seemingly willing to let him go at the end of the season if they keep Dries Mertens.

Milik, 26, has hit 12 goals in 22 games this season, but injuries have again been a concern for the former Bayer Levekusen and Ajax hitman, limiting his impact.

Still, it’s a strong goalscoring record, and he could make sense as a striker to offer some support to Kane in the Tottenham attack next season – years after he spent time with Spurs.

The Mirror reported in 2015 that Milik once had a trial spell with Tottenham, but Spurs turned him down as a 16-year-old, believing they had better young strikers in their ranks.

Now, fans would seemingly support a big-money deal, branding him ‘fantastic’ and ‘actually very good’, with a general feeling that he would be great backup for Kane and exactly what Spurs need.
