Tottenham target Senegal striker

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keeping tabs on FC Sion striker Moussa Konate who has impressed in the Swiss Super League.

The Senegal international has 24 goals in 46 games in a two-year spell for his side and according to The Mirror has attracted the attention of Mauricio Pochettino as he looks for options to bolster his attack.

The 23-year-old has had a modest goalscoring record prior to joining Sion, with spells at Maccabi Tel Aviv, FC Krasnodar, and Genoa fruitless to say the least.

However, Konate has an impressive record for his country with seven goals in 16 appearances and can operate as a winger, much to the usefulness of Pochettino who likes his attackers to be versatile.

The Mirror claim a fee of £6 million would be enough to pry Konate away from Switzerland, but his average goalscoring record may put off Tottenham from following up any interest in the forward.

The newspaper also believes the club has called off their pursuit of another Moussa – Fulham starlet Moussa Dembele.

Tottenham failed in a bid to bring Dembele to White Hart Lane in the January transfer window, and despite his contract expiring in the summer, the club has ended their interest in the teenager.
