West Ham United's Manuel Lanzini on Tottenham Hotspur radar?

Tottenham Hotspur are tempted to make a move for West Ham United attacking midfielder Manuel Lanzini, according to a report.

The 24-year-old remains a key component in the Hammers' under-performing ranks, particularly when it comes to facing the Lilywhites after scoring three goals in three games.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is said to be a big admirer of his compatriot, who remains under contract at the London Stadium until 2020.

ESPN suggests that Pochettino is weighing up an offer for the former River Plate star, seeing him as a valuable attacking addition to his Tottenham squad.

West Ham will be reluctant to sell one of their key assets while battling relegation, though, and Lanzini is not understood to be angling for a move away.
