Empoli midfielder Assane Diousse is being watched by Tottenham.
The Daily Star says the teen is on Spurs' radar this season.
Just 17, Diousse has battled his way into Empoli's first team this Serie B season.
Empoli president Fabrizio Corsi is aware of interest from Tottenham and AC Milan, but believes Diousse should be allowed to develop where he is.
"He is destined for a great career but let him grow."
