Tottenham are reportedly interested in Aleksandar Mitrovic.
Tottenham Hotspur’s hopes of signing Aleksandar Mitrovic are under threat from Chinese side Guangzhou Evergrande, The Express report.
Evergrande reportedly want to pay £300,000 per week for the Fulham forward.
Tottenham made an offer for Mitrovic in January, Teamtalk reported, and plan to go back in for him this summer.
To win the race, Spurs must break their habits and move early.
Evergrande cannot sign players until July 1 when the Chinese transfer window opens.
The Premier League’s transfer window opens officially on June 1.
Tottenham are notoriously slow movers. Last season they did not sign any players at all.
In previous summers their business has been conducted largely in August.
This could be the case this year, if they have to sell players to buy.
If Spurs are to beat the mega-money deal Mitrovic could get from China, they must use their extra month to get in their early.
Showing Mitrovic how much they want him by moving quickly could help persuade the Serbian to forego the extra cash he could earn in the Far East.
