Tottenham have been told to go higher if they want Southampton midfielder Adam Lallana.
The Mail on Sunday says Tottenham have been told to offer £30m to Southampton if they want to hijack Lallana's move to Liverpool.
On Saturday Liverpool upped a bid from £20m to £25m to secure Lallana, having already secured the services of Rickie Lambert for £4m from the Saints. They believe they have landed the player following a medical.
But Southampton, who would seem to be selling off their prized assets, want £30m for Lallana and are hoping that former manager Mauricio Pochettino will persuade Spurs chairman Daniel Levy to pay that fee.
