Spurs have heavily scouted in Belgium and Holland


Tottenham have been looking at 28-year-old (29 in January) Croatian striker and former Blackburn Rovers player Nikola Kalinic suggest reports in Italy.

It is a suggestion that looks highly unlikely, he doesn't fit our transfer profile and his contract 8ntil 2019 suggests he is unlikely too. Twelve goals in thirty-three games doesn't suggest he is in the 'special' class we have said we would make an exception for.

Another striker we have been watching is Sebastian Heller of FC Utrecht. Rob Mackenzie has made many trips to Holland and Belgium scouting players across several countries in a weekend.

The 21-year-old (22 in June) is out of contract in the summer and as is often the case with players we are interested in Inter Milan are also keeping an eye on him. Bayer Leverkusen, Schalke 04, Borussia Monchengladbach, Monaco and clubs in Holland have also been monitoring the Frenchman who has scored 17 goals in 31 Eredivisie games with 4 assists and another 6 goals in 6 games with another assist in the Dutch Cup.

The French Under-21 international prefers to stay in Holland and move to Ajax it is suggested in the Dutch press. Utrecht valued him between £6.26-7.82-million when Norwich City made a fruitless attempt to buy him. We have continued to watch him as we have a number of strikers, it isn't the cost that matters to us, it's getting the right player who fits.
