Tottenham Hotspur 'step up interest in Vedat Muriqi'

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly scouted Fenerbahce forward Vedat Muriqi for the second time as the Premier League club step up their interest in the Kosovo international.

The 25-year-old has netted twice in four Super Lig appearances for Galatasaray this season, while he was on the scoresheet in Kosovo's 5-3 loss to England last week.

Manchester United are said to have scouted Muriqi in the clash with the Three Lions, where the centre-forward found the back of the net from the penalty spot during a positive performance.

Tottenham, meanwhile, are believed to have watched Muriqi in action against Czech Republic with Mauricio Pochettino's side identifying the attacker as a potential signing.

According to Sport Witness, Spurs again watched the former Caykur Rizespor forward during Fenerbahce's 3-1 loss to Alanyaspor in the league on Monday night.

Muriqi, who has scored seven times in 22 appearances for his country, has a contract at Turk Telekom Stadium until the summer of 2023.
