Spurs among trio of Premier League clubs chasing winger

Tottenham Hotspur travel to Turkey to face Galatasaray in the next round of Europa League group phase fixtures on Thursday. 

The Lilywhites have won all there of their games in the competition so far this season and therefore sit second in the 36-team table – level on points with leaders Lazio.

Manager Ange Postecoglou will have been buoyed by his side’s emphatic 4-1 comeback win over Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday, and the Australian will hope to see his team pick up where they left off when they arrive in Istanbul.

Off the pitch, it appears that Spurs are one of a number of clubs chasing an Argentinian winger.

As per CaughtOffside, Spurs, Aston Villa and Newcastle United are all interested in Boca Juniors winger Kevin Zenon.

The report claims that Zenon has been monitored by a number of top European clubs recently, but the trio of Premier League sides are now showing the most serious interest.

Zenon has emerged as a target for Spurs, Villa and Newcastle

Zenon, 23, joined Boca from fellow Argentina side Union Santa Fe in January this year and has since played 39 times for his current club across all competitions.

The winger, who primarily operates on the left, has scored four goals and provided seven assists in that time.

Brighton and Hove Albion are also said to have expressed an interest in the winger, as well as Portuguese side Benfica, French outfit Lyon and Italian side Napoli.

Zenon is contracted to Boca until the end of 2028, but the report claims that he has a release clause in the deal and could therefore be available for as little as £13 million.

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery is said to be a particularly big admirer of Zenon, who has been capped by Argentina at Under-23 level and also represented his country at the Olympic Games in Paris over the summer.
