Pochettino confirms Batshuayi interest

Mauricio Pochettino has admitted that Michy Batshuayi is on Tottenham Hotspur's shortlist of potential attacking additions.

The North Londoners have been heavily reliant on Harry Kane's goals over the last two seasons, which is believed to be Pochettino's motivating factor behind signing another striker in the summer.

Asked by RMC if Marseille's 19-goal Batshuayi was of interest, the Spurs boss replied: "We are looking for a striker this summer, that's clear. Michy's a young player who has a lot of talent. He is on the list of many clubs.

"We have quite a few people who have given us information about him. He has good potential. We'll see. We have other players in our sights too."

Batshuayi, 22, joined his Ligue 1 employers from Standard Liege in August 2014.
