But Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, desperate to bring in a new striker due to Harry Kane’s hamstring injury, is looking to open talks with the Italian club.

Milan are insisting they will not allow Piatek, 24, to leave for less than £23million.

Aston Villa, Newcastle and Crystal Palace also keen.

But Spurs are in a better position to land the striker who joined from Genoa for £30m a year ago, yet has just four goals this season.

Piatek is keen to move after Milan re-signed Zlatan Ibrahimovic but says he will only join a club of similar size.

There is encouraging news about Spurs No 1 Hugo Lloris, who is set to return to full training within ten days.

He has been out since dislocating an elbow in October’s 3-0 loss to Brighton.
