Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly opened talks with Eintracht Frankfurt striker Randal Kolo Muani over a potential move to North London, with Manchester United also keen on the player.
The 24-year-old made the switch to the Bundesliga from Ligue 1 outfit Nantes in the summer of 2022, going on to enjoy the best goalscoring season of his career to date in Germany.
A record of 15 goals and 11 assists in 32 league matches for Frankfurt meant that the attacker ranked top of his side's scoring and assisting charts during his maiden campaign at the club.
Having appeared nine times for France after making his debut in September 2022, the forward also has a level of international pedigree, with him last playing for Les Bleus against Greece in June.
According to Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Spurs are interested in bringing Kolo Muani to London this summer if club legend Harry Kane was to depart.
England's all-time top scorer has been extensively linked with a move away from the Lilywhites this summer, with Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich hoping to bring him into their squad.
The report claims that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has been informed by the club's ownership that he must sell Kane in this transfer window if the forward does not agree to new terms.
The 29-year-old's current deal in North London expires next summer, meaning that Ange Postecoglou's men could lose a player who they value at £100m for nothing in a years time.
It is understood that a deal for Kolo Muani would cost Spurs £69m - a price tag which would be reasonable if they were able to reuse the money bagged from Kane's possible transfer to Munich.
The Premier League is supposedly the Frenchman's preferred destination this summer, and the 24-year-old is said to be keen on a move to North London in order to link up with new manager Postecoglou.
It was reported earlier this month that Manchester United are still interested in bringing Kolo Muani to Old Trafford, with Erik ten Hag desperate to recruit a striker before the end of the summer window.
With a deal for Kane said to be currently off the cards, the Red Devils have recently focused their attention on the signing of Atalanta BC's Rasmus Hojlund, although Paris Saint-Germain are also understood to be in the race for the Dane.
PSG sporting director Luis Campos is reportedly prepared to sanction a move for the 20-year-old forward, with the Ligue 1 champions looking to fill the attacking void left by Lionel Messi's departure to Inter Miami.
Spurs have endured a disrupted pre-season to date after matches against Leicester City and Roma were cancelled, although Postecoglou's charges will get back on the pitch against Lion City Sailors of Singapore on Wednesday. body check tags ::
