Serie A powerhouses AC Milan are reportedly willing to sell Cutrone with Premier League outift Spurs keen.

Harry Kane has been Tottenham’s first choice striker for five years now. So it is rather staggering that, in all that time, he has never really had any serious competition for his place in the starting XI.

Roberto Soldado flattered to deceive in North London, Fernando Llorente continues to warm the bench while Vincent Janssen looks unlikely to ever play for the club again as long as Mauricio Pochettino remains at the helm.

But could Patrick Cutrone be the player Spurs have been crying out for? According to Tuttomercatoweb, the 21-year-old is growing frustrated with life on the AC Milan bench behind January signing Krzystof Piatek and, as a result, the Italian giants will consider offers of around £30 million.

It is claimed that Tottenham have expressed an interest and with good reason. Cutrone is one of Europe’s most promising young strikers, a combative, old-school penalty box predator who netted 18 times in his debut season with Milan in 2017/18.

But with Daniel Levy failing to shell out for a single new signing in each of the last two transfer windows, it seems that Spurs fans aren’t exactly waiting with baited breath.
