Tottenham Hotspur have not given up hope of landing Morgan Rogers, but they have also identified two alternatives should they fail to secure the Aston Villa star.
It is an open secret that Tottenham are trying to reinforce their attack before the transfer deadline after losing out to Arsenal in the Eberechi Eze transfer race.
A number of outlets have now reported that Spurs view Morgan Rogers as their ‘dream signing’ and have made contact over a deal for the 23-year-old.
Several sources have claimed that Spurs would have to shatter their transfer record to bring Rogers through the door, but it looks like the Lilywhites are not giving up on the England international.
Tottenham identify ‘difficult’ alternatives to Morgan Rogers
Football Insider have now claimed that Rogers continues to be on Tottenham’s radar, with the Lilywhites hoping to take advantage of Aston Villa’s PSR issues and land the attacking midfielder.
However, the North London club realises that it will be a challenge to prise the former Middlesbrough man away from Villa Park.
As a result, Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on Como’s Nico Paz and Real Madrid star Rodrygo if they fail to land Rogers.
However, the outlet adds that a deal for Paz or Rodrygo would also prove difficult for Spurs, with Como and Madrid demanding huge transfer fees for their player.
Tottenham have already failed with a huge offer for Nico Paz
This update comes just a couple of days after Tottenham reportedly had a €70m (£60.7m) bid turned down by Como for Paz.
According to reports, Los Blancos plan to exercise their buy-back option for the attacking midfielder in the future, and Real Madrid played a big role in Spurs’ offer for Paz being rejected.
With time running out in the transfer window, some Tottenham fans will be frustrated to see the club seemingly going after unrealistic targets.
