Should Tottenham Hotspur make a move for him?
Spurs are long term admirers of the Argentine striker and have been linked to him in the recent transfer windows.
The Sun reported Spurs’ interest last summer, while The Independent claimed back in January that Spurs still retain a strong interest in the forward.
Alario is touted as one of the finest talents in his homeland, and at 24, he should be looking to explore his career in European Leagues.

The striker has scored 12 goals and provided four assists in the Primiera Division this season, and added another three goals in the Copa Libertadores.
Alario has an eye for key passes, and has excellent finishing skills. He could be a decent backup option for first choice striker Harry Kane.
Furthermore, Tottenham manager, Mauricio Pochettino hails from Argentina and has a sound knowledge of players from his homeland.
Alario comes at a decent price as well. Signing him will be a gamble, but he could prove to be a smart buy if he lives up to his potential.
