Tottenham and Chelsea have reportedly expressed an interest in signing Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin this summer.
However the London sides are both believed to have been reluctant in meeting the Magpies' £40million valuation of the French forward.
The Premier League rivals were hopeful in acquiring Saint-Maximin for a low-priced fee due to Newcastle's recent wealth.
According to The Athletic, Spurs, Chelsea and a number of European sides have explored the option of signing the 25-year-old.
The Blues are undergoing a squad overhaul in the current window under their new ownership, while it appears that manager Thomas Tuchel is keen to add one more attacker to his forward line.
