Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on Keita Balde.

Tottenham Hotspur have revived interest in Lazio winger Keita Balde, according to The Mirror.

Balde scored 16 goals in 31 appearances for the Serie A side last season, of which just 21 were starts.

The Senegal international is just 22 and has only one year remaining on his contract.

The Mirror report Balde is keen on a move to the Premier League.

A further twist to the transfer could see Vincent Janssen head the other way, with Lazio keen on the Dutch international striker.

Earlier in the summer Balde was linked strongly to Juventus but they have since moved to sign wingers Douglas Costa and Federico Berardeschi.

Spurs are yet to sign any players this summer and a move for Balde would be welcomely received.

His last six games of the season for Lazio were eventful as he scored eight goals and picked up one red card.

Keita can play out wide and up front as a central striker, which is where the majority of his goals came from last season.

His versatility means he could complement Harry Kane by playing alongside him, rather than simply becoming a back-up, a role which has seen Vincent Janssen struggle.
