TOTTENHAM target Krzysztof Piatek underlined his £28million value ahead of an expected transfer this month with a dashing finish for AC Milan tonight.
The Poland striker, earmarked to replace Spurs’ crocked England skipper Harry Kane, raced through to clip a deft opener in tonight’s 3-0 Italian Cup defeat of Serie A rivals bottom side SPAL at the San Siro.

Tottenham are thought to have negotiated a 3 ½-year deal for the 24-year-old.
Developments have dried up in the last few days but a £23.8m transfer, with £4.2m add-ons, still seems possible in the current transfer window.
SunSport exclusively revealed how Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is keen to let manager Jose Mourinho spend big on his frontline.
Main man Kane is likely to be out until April as he needs surgery on his ruptured tendon.
He limped off against Southampton on New Year’s Day, clutching his left hamstring.
That leaves the 26-year-old’s place at Euro 2020 in serious doubt.
Attention on Kane’s replacement at club level has largely focused on Piatek.
And Spurs’ interest in the ex-Genoa ace will surely trump that of Aston Villa, Newcastle and Crystal Palace.
Meanwhile, Spain Under-21 winger Samu Castillejo and France Ur-20 left-back Theo Hernandez finished off SPAL tonight.
