Spurs battle Newcastle for Belgian striker

Michy Batshuayi could be the latest Belgian to join Spurs if a report by John Richardson in the Express is to be believed.

According to Richardson, the north London side have made their interest in the 22-year-old known to Marseille but will face a battle from Newcastle to sign him.

The Magpies sent scout Graham Carr to watch the striker play Bordeaux and are also keen to bring him to the Premier League.

The Belgian international has been in fine form this season, scoring 14 goals in all competitions and is attracting the attention of sides all over Europe.

Spurs are looking to add a striker to their squad to help ease the burden on Harry Kane while Newcastle are apparently looking to replace Papiss Cisse, who is looking to gain more first team action elsewhere.

The French side are reportedly asking for around £20million for Batshuayi, so it remains to be seen if Spurs will be willing to pay such a fee.
