Former Manchester United forward Giuseppe Rossi has been linked with Tottenham Hotspur.
Rossi is training with his former club United and is a free agent at the moment.
The 31-year-old forward, who has had injury issues throughout his career, has been linked with a move to Tottenham in the January transfer window.
The Mirror and talkSPORT are among news outlets in England who have relayed Tuttosport’s claim that Spurs are looking to sign the Italian forward on a pay-as-you play deal.
Spurs manager Pochettino, though, has said that he is not planning to add Rossi to his squad.
Pochettino told Sky Sports when asked about signing Rossi: “There are many names that appear in every transfer window.
“I think he is another name to add on the list but it is only a rumour. We have not considered him.”
Need for a striker
With Harry Kane injured at the moment and Son Heung-min away on international duty with South Korea at the Asian Cup, Tottenham do need to sign a striker in the January transfer window.
Tottenham are still in the race for the Premier League title, and the North London have to do something about a strike in order to maintain their challenge.
