In fact, manager Maurizio Pochettino is on the lookout for a backup to Harry Kane, in order to give the latter some rest from time to time. As stated by the report, Simeone is a concrete idea which Spurs are seriously considering. 

 

Given his performances as of late, Tottenham will certainly not get the striker for cheap, with Fiorentina asking for a fee of around €40m. Atletico Madrid have also been named as a potential next destination, due to the father-son link between Giovanni and Diego. 

 

Simeone joined Fiorentina last summer from Genoa in a €15m deal, and just over one year later, the Italian side could cash in on their target man.
