Tottenham Hotspur ready to make January move for Napoli's Lorenzo Insigne?

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly identified Napoli winger Lorenzo Insigne as a potential January signing.

Recently-appointed head coach Antonio Conte will likely be given the leeway to make changes to his first-team squad as he bids to secure Champions League football for next season.

While the North London outfit lack recognised backup for Harry Kane, bringing in another versatile attacker would allow Son Heung-min to play down the middle if and when required.

According to Repubblica, that may be achieved with Spurs said to be planning to make an approach for Insigne next month.

The club legend appears ready to take on a new challenge having failed to pen a contract extension, leaving him free to hold discussions with foreign clubs in just over two weeks' time.

Although the report claims that Spurs will attempt to negotiate a cut-price fee with Napoli, Spurs may also be interested in a pre-contract agreement with the Italy international.

The 30-year-old has contributed four goals and five assists in Serie A this season.
