Tottenham are scouting Ben Brereton Diaz as they consider reigniting their interest in signing the Blackburn Rovers attacker.
Spurs pounced to sign a new striker over the summer as Richarlison arrived from Everton in a big-money move.
Richarlison has provided quality attacking support in the final third but Tottenham may still need another addition or two in 2023.
Antonio Conte will want quality depth behind Richarlison, Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski.
Fabio Paratici will therefore need to have some potential signings in mind and one could be a real bargain.
Tottenham are scouting Ben Brereton Diaz
90Min claim that Tottenham have been watching Blackburn Rovers forward Ben Brereton Diaz.
The Chile international is out of contract at the end of the season and looks set to leave Ewood Park in 2023.
Brereton Diaz racked up 22 goals last season and already has nine in 20 Championship games this season.
Half the Premier League probably wants Brereton Diaz and his versatility in the final third may appeal to Tottenham.
Brereton Diaz can play on the left flank or up front and has been hailed as an ‘extraordinary’ talent by former Rovers boss Tony Mowbray.
Tottenham keeping tabs on Brereton Diaz suggests Paratici may be rekindling a past interest in the former Nottingham Forest ace.
Football London’s Alasdair Gold reported in June that Tottenham were eyeing up Brereton Diaz and had been interested for months.
No summer deal materialised but Brereton Diaz is now approaching the end of his contract and Tottenham could strike.
We know how Paratici loves a free transfer; that was a key part of his recruitment at Juventus and Tottenham were able to bring in a couple of freebies over the summer in Fraser Forster and Ivan Perisic.
Tottenham may be planning a summer move for Brereton Diaz, when he can join for free – but Spurs can expect plenty of competition.
