Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in Vedat Muriqi.

Vedat Muriqi of Fenerbahce attends a training session within the team's mid-season camp as part of second-half preparations for Turkish Super Lig in Antalya, Turkey on January 9, 2020.

According to Aksam, Tottenham Hotspur and Burnley have made offers for Vedat Muriqi of Fenerbahce.

It has been reported that Tottenham made contact with the Turkish club regarding signing the 25-year-old striker in the January transfer window.

Burnley are also claimed to have registered their interest, but Fenerbahce have reportedly turned down approaches from both the Clarets and Spurs.

Stats

Muriqi has made 16 starts and one substitute appearance in the Turkish Super Big for Fenerbahce so far this season, scoring 11 goals and providing four assists in the process, according to WhoScored.

During the 2018-19 campaign, the Kosovo international scored 17 goals and provided eight assists in 34 league games for Rizespor, according to WhoScored.

Good signing for Tottenham Hotspur?

Muriqi has been quite prolific since the start of last season, and the 25-year-old would be a decent signing for Tottenham in the January transfer window.

True, the Kosovo international is not a top-level striker, but he could do a good job in the absence of Harry Kane in the upcoming weeks and months if he is given good service.
