Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City are all chasing Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente.
The Daily Star says the 27-year-old has been a long-term target for Tottenham, who reportedly pursued him last summer and again in January this year.
But Spurs could miss out on the Spain international if either Manchester City or Arsenal follow up their interest.
Bilbao president Josu Urrutia has referred all interested clubs to Llorente's £29 million price-tag.
