Paper Talk: Spurs join race for Czech striker; Liverpool v Lazio for Brazilian ace

Reports in Italy this morning suggest that Spurs has become the latest club to be linked with exciting young Czech striker Patrick Schick. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Premier League side have had scouts watching the Sampdoria player’s progress over the past few months and that they were in place at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Saturday evening for the Genoa derby where he came on as a second-half substitute to turn the game in Samp's favour.
 
Chelsea are also monitoring the situation and they too had representatives in the port city to watch the game. Schick arrived in Italy last summer from Sparta Prague and initially rejected a move to Roma to head to Liguria.
