Tottenham are considering raiding London rivals West Ham for the second time this summer.
Spurs have already angered Hammers fans by snaring Mohammed Kudus for £55million.

talkSPORT understands Kudus’ former teammate Lucas Paqueta is a player of interest to last season’s Europa League winners.
Spurs have made a new No.10 a priority position following James Maddison’s knee injury and after missing out on both Eberechi Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White.
West Ham boss Graham Potter would be reluctant to lose Paqueta, but it is believed the Hammers would consider offers in excess of £60m.
Paqueta is not actively pushing for a move from the London Stadium after West Ham stood by him during allegations of spot fixing, of which he was subsequently cleared.

Eagles eye quality after Eze exit
Crystal Palace have added Bournemouth winger David Brooks to their list of targets.
Brooks has started each of Bournemouth’s first two games of the season, and was particularly impressive in last weekend’s 1-0 win at home to Wolves.
However, the Wales international is into the final year of his contract and Bournemouth must decide whether to offer an extension or potentially cash in.
Palace’s incoming director of football Matt Hobbs is a big admirer of Brooks, 28, who joined Bournemouth from Sheffield United in 2018 and has made more than 100 league appearances.
Juve star to replace Isak?
Newcastle have been offered the chance to sign Dusan Vlahovic.

Juve are willing to accept offers as low as €30m to get the Serb off their wage bill.
However, at the moment Vlahovic is not understood to be a hot topic at St James Park as Newcastle explore other options.
The Magpies remain in talks with Brentford for Yoane Wissa and are expected to make a second bid for Wolves’ Jorgen Strand-Larsen after having their initial £50m offer rejected.
Forest to axe outcast star
Nottingham Forest are negotiating terminating forgotten striker Emmanuel Dennis’ contract.
Dennis has played just 19 league games since joining Forest from Watford for £10m in the summer of 2022.
In fact, he has played more matches out on loan for the likes of Blackburn and his former club than for the Tricky Trees.
