Tottenham Hotspur reportedly want to sign Vedat Muriqi.

According to Fanatik, Tottenham Hotspur had a scout present to watch Vedat Muriqi in action for Kosovo against England at St. Mary’s Stadium this week.

England got the better of Kosovo 5-3 at Southampton’s home ground in the European Championship Qualifying Group A on Tuesday evening.

Muriqi scored for his team in the 55th minute from the penalty spot and had a good game on a personal level.

The 25-year-old striker joined Fenerbahce in the summer transfer window, and has scored two goals in three Super Lig appearances so far this season, according to WhoScored.

Back-up to Harry Kane

Harry Kane is the first-choice striker at Tottenham, and that is not going to change anytime soon.

Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino is surely eyeing Muriqi as a back-up to Kane, and the 25-year-old will be a decent signing for the Premier League club for the right price for the second half of the season and beyond.

With Fernando Llorente and Vincent Janssen having left Spurs in the summer transfer window, the North London club do need a back-up to 26-year-old Kane.
