Tottenham are among two other European heavyweights interested in making a move for Newcastle United’s Ayoze Perez in the summer.

According to AS, Tottenham and Serie A sides Inter Milan and Napoli are keen to make a move for Ayoze Perez in the summer.

The Spaniard has had an outstanding campaign with Newcastle this season having scored 11 goals in the Premier League. The former Tenerife attacker has been moved to the right flank after starting the season behind Salomon Rondon.

The move has turned out to be a successful one as Perez regularly managed to get into goalscoring positions. The report reveals that Perez has a clause in his contract which would make him available for a fee for £25.7 million in the summer.

Perez has said that he would be willing to listen to offers in the summer and Tottenham should make theirs before his other suitors come in.

Ayoze Perez arrives for the Premier League match between West Ham and Newcastle United at London Stadium on December 23, 2017, in London, England.

Spurs haven’t signed a single player in the last two transfer windows which has hampered their title bid this season. Harry Kane’s absence has caused a ton of problems with Fernando Llorente and Vincent Janssen nowhere near the quality that Spurs should have in their squad.

Signing Ayoze Perez will provide Mauricio Pochettino with a wide range of options next season and his fluid movement in between the channels will make it a lot easier for Spurs to break down their opponents. Still only 25, Perez is at the peak of his career and under Pochettino, he can take his game to a whole new level.
