Tottenham Hotspur are said to be keen on bringing in Javier Pastore this month.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Tottenham Hotspur have had a bid rejected from PSG from Javier Pastore, but that should not put them off going for the Argentine midfielder.

Pastore is believed to be available for transfer this month, but Spurs’ £25 million bid was deemed not good enough.

Pastore is also said to favour a move back to Italy, rather than a Premier League switch.

But Spurs should not be put off going for the Argentine, as he is such a talent.

Pastore is a wonderful creative influence, and surely would be a star of almost every team across the continent.

PSG have a wealth of attacking riches, which means he is struggling for game time, but at Tottenham he could thrive.

The thought of Pastore working in tandem with Christian Eriksen is a tantalising prospect, as they could supply Harry Kane with so many chances.

And if Tottenham have the funds, then making an improved offer for Pastore should be right at the top of their wishlist this month.
