Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho reportedly is a fan of Real Betis forward Loren Moron.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho wants Loren Moron at Hotspur Way next season, according to La Razon.

Mourinho is eager to add a striker to Tottenham’s ranks next term, as he looks to strengthen his side’s attack.

Reports in Spain now suggest that Moron, who has excelled at Real Betis, could be a target for Tottenham.

Moron has a £55 million release clause in his contract (La Razon), but whether Spurs would be willing to bid that much for the 26-year-old seems doubtful.

Good signing for Spurs?

Loren Moron of Real Betis Balompie looks on  during the La Liga match between Real Betis Balompie and Getafe CF at Estadio Benito Villamarin on March 03, 2019 in Seville, Spain.

Moron has enjoyed a solid goalscoring season in Spain, where he has netted 11 times in 29 games.

The Betis man is a well-rounded forward, and as a back-up option he could improve Tottenham’s front-line.

Spurs’s need for cover for Harry Kane has never been clearer than it currently is, with the England captain sidelined.

And Mourinho should be making signing a new number nine one of his priorities this summer.
