Tottenham Hotspur were reportedly interested in Arkadiusz Milik last year and in January.

The 26-year-old, on the books at Napoli, was linked with a number of clubs last summer, including Spurs and Everton, plus Manchester United.

A Tuttomercatoweb report from October claimed that both Tottenham and Everton were looking to revisit their interest in the striker in January.

In the end, Milik opted to join Marseille on loan from Napoli on an 18-month loan deal with an obligation to buy.

At first glance, that would suggest other suitors had missed the boat, but Calciomercato has now reported that the Poland international’s contract contains a £10.5million release clause.

This report has emerged amid links with Juventus, and despite their rivalry with Napoli, the clause apparently does not forbid the Turin giants from making a move.

Milik is a high-calibre forward, who boasts numerous qualities including pace, strength, agility, great movement on and off the ball, a powerful shot and an equally strong header.

Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti has praised Milik in the past, calling his former Napoli colleague “more complete” than Mauro Icardi (Goal.com).

But while Juve are thought to be really keen on the striker and Everton will probably be linked too, Spurs may well be looking at new strikers in the summer.

Could Milik resurface as a potential Tottenham target, particularly given he reportedly has such a low price tag?
