Mauricio Pochettino has refused to comment on speculation over West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino, but did confirm that Tottenham Hotspur had a "private" target.
The striker, 22, has been heavily linked with a summer move away from the Baggies but reports on Thursday suggested that a bid was yet to be lodged.
While Pochettino failed to address the speculation, he did reveal that Spurs were keen to wrap up a deal for another player shortly.
"I never speak about rumours. If you check the last few weeks, a lot of names are linked with us," the Argentine manager told reporters.
"But this is private, our target, and I hope it can happen quick."
Berahino netted 20 goals in all competitions last season.
