Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace have been linked with AC Milan forward Krzysztof Piatek.

According to Calciomercato.it, Tottenham Hotspur could turn their attention to AC Milan forward Krzysztof Piatek, who has already rejected Crystal Palace.

It has been reported that Premier League club Palace made an approach for Piatek and so did Italian outfit Genoa, but the 24-year-old forward has turned them down.

The report in the Italian news outlet has claimed that Spurs head coach Jose Mourinho could make a move for the Poland international due to the injury to Harry Kane.

England international striker Kane has suffered a torn hamstring and could be out for “several weeks”, as reported by BBC Sport.
