Utrecht powerhouse Sebastien Haller is a shock target for Tottenham.

The Sunday Express says Mauricio Pochettino is keen to strengthen his squad after crashing out of the Champions League and Haller, 22, is a player who he has received very favourable scouting reports about this season.

The striker is tipped to win full international honours this season after again catching the eye in Holland's Eredivisie since moving from France almost two years ago.

The former Auxerre youngster one of hottest prospects in French football has also been watched by Italian Inter Milan in recent weeks but Spurs are very much the favourites to do a deal.
