The Anderlecht striker has reportedly attracted interest from Tottenham Hotspur.

According to Polish media outlet Sport PL, Spurs are lining up a January bid for Anderlecht hitman Lukasz Teodorczyk.

The 26-year-old has been far from prolific this season, scoring just three goals in 23 outings in all competitions for his club, so rumours linking him with a move to Tottenham seem to be far fetched.

Sport PL claims that Mauricio Pochettino wants to bring the 14-capped Poland international to the club as competition for Harry Kane, but between the two players, there is quite simply no comparison.

The 24-year-old Spurs man is streets ahead of the Anderlecht forward, and is could be argued that the Pole would struggled to adapt to the intensity of the Premier League.

Teodorczyk is strong in the air, but he lacks pace, and with Tottenham’s blistering speed of their counter-attacking play, it is hard to understand what he would actually bring to the party.

He is valued at around £9 million by Transfermarkt, although it is unclear as to how much Spurs would have to pay to bring him to the club, either this month or in the summer.

There are surely plenty of other options out there for the Lilywhites to focus on, however, if they truly want to progress as a football club.
