Transfer Talk - a watching brief

TRANSFER TALK


Tottenham are continuing to track Argentinian striker Lucas Alario with whom we were liked during the summer before signing Vincent Janssen. he has a contract with River Plate until 2010 but has a release clause of £15.2-million.

Liverpool, Benfica and Torino all all tracking the 23-year-old (24 in October) who has just been capped by Argentina. The reason for interest, 19 goals in 29 games. he played yesterday in Week to of the Argentinian league as River Plate beat  Talleres Cordoba 1-0 away from home.

While we don't have a scout at every game we can call upon the Internet and scouting software to give us a game video of him and all the necessary statistics.

The reports of a battle with Liverpool are premature, we are doing nothing but monitor at this stage in case Janssen isn't the goalscorer we expect him to be.
