Tottenham remain in the market for attacking reinforcements despite completing eight major signings.
Deals for Savio and Omar Marmoush were announced earlier this week, but Roberto De Zerbi is on the lookout for one more versatile forward to complete his squad.
Talks have been held for Cody Gakpo, with the Dutchman reaching a broad agreement on personal terms with the Lilywhites.
However, so far, Liverpool have been unwilling to sell, so Tottenham may need to look for alternatives.
Rafael Leao is a player who has been mentioned as a target. The Portuguese international will leave AC Milan before the transfer deadline and is also wanted by Galatasaray.
However, Aston Villa have entered the race to secure his signature.
Tottenham target Rafael Leao wanted by Aston Villa
Fabrizio Romano says Unai Emery wants to sign the wantaway forward, who has been on the market for quite a while now.
He wrote on X: “Galatasaray are waiting for Rafa Leão decision after €45m plus add-ons deal agreed yesterday with AC Milan.
“Unai Emery, pushing to bring him to Aston Villa after direct contact taking place today with AVFC manager. Key hours ahead.”
Tottenham don’t appear to have an active interest in the player, but if they do, they need to press ahead with their interest now as the Villains have made their move.
