Tottenham eyeing M’Baye Niang

Tottenham Hotspur are considering a January bid for AC Milan forward M’Baye Niang, reports Metro.

Spurs have reinforced their attacking options with Roberto Soldado this summer, but with both Jermain Defoe and Emmanuel Adebayor linked with moves away from the club, Andre Villas-Boas is hoping to add another forward to his ranks.

Metro has suggested that Tottenham are readying January bid for AC Milan starlet M’Baye Niang.

The 18-year-old has already shown a great deal of potential since arriving from Caen last summer, but he faces a real fight to get back into the side after returning from injury.

Seeing as how the Rossoneri have signed Alessandro Matri and Kaka this summer, the Frenchman could find it hard to get much needed playing time this season.

He could, therefore, be interested in a move to Tottenham, who will be in action later today as they face Cardiff City on the road. Having already defeated Crystal Palace on the travel this term, Spurs are 9/10 to see off another newly promoted side away from home.
