Tottenham are weighing up a January move for Roma striker Edin Dzeko.

Jose Mourinho is looking to bolster his squad in the winter window and is specifically eyeing reinforcement up top to take the workload off Harry Kane.

The Mirror says the Tottenham boss sent one of his senior scouts to Italy to watch the Roma star in action last week.

The former Manchester City striker was in action for Roma as they claimed a 3-1 away victory over Verona last Sunday evening.

He is still first-choice at the Stadio Olimpico and Mourinho believes the 33-year-old can take the pressure off Kane or step up to the plate if his star man sustains an injury.
