Tottenham want to bring in Southampton striker Danny Ings in a £20million deal this summer so the Saints forward can partner Harry Kane up front, according to reports.
It was reported last week that the 28-year-old striker, who scored 12 Premier League goals last season, turned down a four-year deal at St Mary's with the view to sealing a transfer to a top-six club.
Spurs are looking for a centre-forward after Carlos Vinicius failed to impress on a season-long loan last term, with no other recognised first-team forward at the club apart from Kane, who is being chased by Manchester City.
