According to a report in The Sun Antonio Conte is ready to beat Spurs and Liverpool to the signature of the former Manchester United hero.
The striker known as Chicharito was a bargain £7m signing for Leverkusen in August 2015 after Louis van Gall cut short his five year stint at Old Trafford which included a season on loan at Real Madrid.
Conte is keen to bring in extra firepower to ease the burden on Diego Costa with the Mexican internationalist fitting the bill perfectly.
