According to The Sun, Tottenham Hotspur have been offered the chance to sign Nabil Fekir from Lyon this summer, and if Mauricio Pochettino’s side did bring him to north London he could be even better than Heung Min-Son.

Spurs would have to pay big to sign Fekir, but Lyon are said to be willing to listen to offers for the in-demand forward.

And if he was to arrive at Tottenham, it would be a stunning addition to Pochettino’s squad.

Spurs already have one of the most dangerous attacks in England, with Son lining up alongside Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli and Harry Kane.

South Korea's Son Heung-Min (C) celebrates his second goal against Colombia during their friendly football match in Suwon on November 10, 2017.

But with Fekir involved they would be even better, and they could scare every defence in the Premier League.

Fekir would arguably even be an upgrade on Son in Spurs’ attacking line-up, despite the South Korean’s excellent performances over the past two seasons.

Son has a happy knack of scoring, and his ability to finish off either foot is impressive, but if there is one member of Tottenham’s attack who could be upgraded, he looks most likely.

Son’s build-up play can be found wanting on occasion, and his form dropped off towards the end of last campaign.

Fekir, on the other hand, was Lyon’s talisman last term – with his link play one of his major assets.

If Harry Kane had even more creativity behind him, he could somehow become more lethal next term.

And in Fekir, Spurs may just have found a player who is available and able to improve their starting line-up for next season.
