It has been reported by the British tabloid that Tottenham are in talks with the 25-year-old forward, who will cost the North London outfit £13 million in transfer fees.
Stats
Diallo has been on the books of Metz his entire professional club football career so far, although he was out on loan at Brest recently.
According to WhoScored, the Senegal international forward has played 31 minutes in Ligue 1 so far this season.
During the 2019-20 campaign, the 25-year-old scored 12 goals and provided three assists in 26 league matches for Metz, according to WhoScored.
Need for a striker
Harry Kane is the only senior out-and-out striker on the books of Tottenham at the moment, and head coach Jose Mourinho needs to bring in another player who can play upfront.
While Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura can play upfront, they are not natural strikers, and Spurs need at least two quality strikers to compete for a top-four finish in the Premier League table this season.
