Tottenham striker Harry Kane reportedly tops Real Madrid's wishlist of potential replacements for Karim Benzema, ahead of Antoine Griezmann and Robert Lewandowski.

Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is reportedly top of Real Madrid's wishlist as they look for possible replacements for Karim Benzema.

Benzema has endured a difficult spell of form for the Spanish and European champions so far this season, scoring just once in nine appearances across all competitions.

By contrast, Kane has scored 13 times in his last 14 outings - including five already in the Champions League to help Spurs move ahead of Madrid in Group H.

The 24-year-old Kane is also five years younger than Benzema, and Diario Gol reports that Florentino Perez is desperate to land the striker despite Tottenham's reluctance to lose him.

Los Blancos are also understood to be interested in Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann - who has been linked with Barcelona - and Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski.

Juventus forward Paulo Dybala is reportedly included as a contingency plan should Madrid miss out on their top three centre-forward targets, with Perez known to be a keen admirer of the Argentine.
