Tottenham are reportedly eyeing a move to sign Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee.

Ange Postecoglou will be satisfied with the club’s work in the January window so far.

Spurs have already moved to snap up Timo Werner and Radu Dragusin, while also managing to move on a handful of players who were out of favour.

Despite brining in Werner, Spurs continue to be linked with moves for forward players.

Indeed, Tottenham are reportedly locked in talks with Club Brugge over a deal to sign Belgian starlet Antonio Nusa.

TuttoMercatoWeb has also claimed that Spurs are one of many clubs eyeing a move to sign Joshua Zirkzee. 

The 22-year-old is attracting interest from the likes of Arsenal and AC Milan after an impressive spell with Bologna.

And it would appear that current Spurs defender Micky van de Ven is also a huge fan of the young striker. 

Van de Ven once labelled Zirkzee superb

Zirkzee took to Instagram last month after netting at the San Siro against Inter Milan.

Van de Ven was one of many current players to leave a reply and labelled his compatriot ‘quality’. 

Zirkzee has netted eight times and provided four assists in all competitions for Bologna this term.

The Dutchman has shown real promise since leaving Bayern Munich in the summer of 2022.

A product of the Bayern and Feyenoord academies, Zirkzee was highly rated in Munich but ultimately moved on in search of regular first-team football.

Bologna are reportedly set to demand around £50 million for the talented forward, with Manchester United also keen.

This move would make sense for Spurs as Zirkzee does fit the profile of the type of players the north London club have been looking at of late.

But it’s difficult to see Spurs spending big on a striker this month after landing Werner on loan. Tottenham are expected to focus on a signing in midfield before next week’s deadline.
