Tottenham have reportedly joined the race for Genoa striker Giovanni Simeone – son of Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone.

Mauricio Pochettino, who played alongside Simeone Sr. for Argentina on several occasions, is a fan of the 22-year-old and is in the market for a top-class striker.

The 22-year-old notched 13 goals in his first season in Serie A, adding to his growing reputation around Europe.

And, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Tottenham are considering a swoop on Genoa for their talented hitman but they are yet to submit a formal offer.
