Tottenham interested in Villa's Benteke, Man Utd's Chicharito

Goal-shy Tottenham are targeting Aston Villa's Christian Benteke according to reports.

SportsDirectNews suggests that Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas is desperate for some new attacking quality this winter and could make a move for Belgian ace Benteke who scored 19 Premier League goals last season.

The former Genk man has not had as much influence so far this term, mainly due to injuries, but could still emerge as a January target.

The report also indicates that Manchester United's Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez and Paris Saint-Germain's Ezequiel Lavezzi are also on the radar of the north London club who have netted just 11 goals in 13 league outings so far this term.
