Tottenham Hotspur ready to bid for Marseille's Florian Thauvin?

Marseille midfielder Florian Thauvin has emerged as a transfer target for Tottenham Hotspur, according to reports.

The 22-year-old is under contract at the Stade Vélodrome until 2018, but rumours have suggested that manager Marcelo Bielsa may be forced to sell in order to reduce the club's wage bill.

Mauricio Pochettino has identified Thauvin as a possible midfield reinforcement for his side, and is willing to pay £10m to secure his signature, reports Mercato365.

Thauvin, who has 10 caps for France Under-21s, joined Marseille from Lille in 2013.
