Tottenham Hotspur eye Krzysztof Piatek as Harry Kane replacement?

AC Milan forward Krzysztof Piatek has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Tottenham Hotspur.

Despite spending the past 12 months as first choice in attack at San Siro, Piatek's place in the team is now under threat due to the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Aston Villa and West Ham United are said to hold an interest in the Poland international, who has contributed 13 goals from 36 outings in Serie A since last January.

However, The Guardian claims that Spurs are keen on the 24-year-old as they look to replace the injured Harry Kane.

The North London outfit's leading marksman is expected to be sidelined until the end of February after suffering a hamstring injury on New Year's Day.

Milan will likely consider selling Piatek if they are able to recoup the £30m which they paid for his services at the beginning of last year.
