Tottenham are preparing a bid for Palermo attacker Franco Vazquez.
The Daily Star says Spurs are set to test the water with an opening bid of around £10m plus add-ons for Vazquez.
But it is understood they may have to pay at least double that amount to convince the Serie A club to part with the 27-year-old.
Vazquez, who plays primarily as a creative No 10, is wanted by a host of clubs in Italy after an impressive season.
Spurs reportedly face competition from new Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho, who's keen to bring the midfielder to Old Trafford.
