Tottenham have joined West Ham and Arsenal in the race to sign Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi this summer, according to the Express.
Both the Hammers and Spurs failed in moves for Michy Batshuayi and Alexandre Lacazette already this summer and have both now set their sights on the Argentine forward.
West Ham have already seen a €25m bid turned down for Icardi this summer, but Spurs will met with his agents this coming week to discuss a possible £38m move to White Hart Lane.
The 23-year-old striker was part of Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy from 2008 to 2011 before joining Sampdoria on a six-month loan while they were in Serie B and was hugely impressive for their reserve side prompting the club to trigger his €400,000 buy-option in the loan contract.
During the 2012/13 season, Icardi broke into the Sampdoria first team following their return to Serie A, netting 10 goals in 31 games which was enough to attract the interest of Inter Milan who shelled out €11.7m for his services.
He has an impressive goal every other game record with Inter, netting 52 times in 105 appearances while also assisting 15 times.
