Tottenham Step Up Vedat Muriqi Interest After Scouts Attend Fine Display in England Defeat

Tottenham remain interested in Kosovan striker Vedat Muriqi after the striker topped off an all-round impressive display against England with a goal from the penalty spot in their Euro 2020 qualifying match.

Muriqi was a menace to the Three Lions' backline on Tuesday night, and his strike meant he now has notched three goals and two assists from his five qualifying matches with the Group A side.

It was previously reported that Tottenham saw Muriqi, who is 6'4, as an ideal replacement for Fernando Llorente - who left to join Napoli this summer after his contract expired in north London - with the club sending scouts to watch the forward with a view to a January move.
