The transfer market is nothing without a little bit of controversy every summer, and Tottenham could well pounce on a stunning bombshell suffered by Liverpool.

The Reds and the Lilywhites were battling it out for a top four spot last season and they will likely find themselves fighting once again over the coming months as they both bid to try and bring in some new recruits to improve their chances during the next campaign.

While Spurs have no one through the doors in north London yet, Liverpool have been busy, with Fabinho and Naby Keita arriving on Merseyside – but there could have been another joining them.

Jurgen Klopp’s side saw a move for Olympique Lyonnais attacker Nabil Fekir collapse in stunning circumstances when a deal appears to be all but done, and that heartache could be made a lot worse if a report is to be believed.

The Sun claim that the French outfit have offered the 24-year-old to other Premier League sides, including the likes of Tottenham and Chelsea, for a £60million price tag after his dazzling form last season.

His 23 goals in 40 appearances were what attracted Liverpool to his services but it must now be Mauricio Pochettino who is snapping him up with an imminent bid.

The Spurs boss is always on the look out for attacking talent to add to his side and the prospect of Fekir joining Harry Kane, Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli should leave fans drooling.

It would only ram the knife home harder for Liverpool, and Tottenham supporters would love to see the Anfield side forced to face up against a player they were so close to having on their own books.
