This sounds promising . No idea on player though. Is he any good ?

What a co-incidence that the Metro reports our "interest", a day or two after one or two posters on here discuss the fact that they'd like us to sign him...
Yeah but ultimately, we want to be playing in the CL and Zlatan does not turn up in big knockout games, I'd rather we buy someone who isn't completely anonymous when it really matters.
I think it's because being able to play L/RWF means he has more of a chance of getting matches. If we buy a player that can only play in Kane's position then he'll spend a lot of time getting bored on the bench.I thought we needed an old fashioned goal scorer, a la Jermaine Defoe that's why my preference is berahino. Not sure about the obsession with wide forwards as we are well stocked. If you take Liverpool it's not only that they have more strikers than us but also they have more striking options. It's these different options up front which may give them the edge in the chase for top 4.
Not that Poch/Mitchell/Levy need my opinion, but the only thing I'd do this winter is make a Godfather offer (25 million pounds, 80k per week salary) to Marseille for Michy Batshuayi. My girlfriend is French, and I watch a fair amount of French football, and MB is an absolute beast. Power, pace, balance, dribbling, decent finishing, and still only 22. He can play as the #9, out wide, or even a little bit withdrawn. Meaning, he could play without or without Kane. I think he'd be a brilliant signing with massive sell-on value who would hit the ground running in England. I'm not sure, even with the above offer, Marsielle would sell, but I'd give them an offer that would make it very hard to refuse.
i would take Defoe back for 6 months if thats the only option.

With just over three weeks until the transfer window opens, Metro reports that Tottenham are limbering up by sending their scouts to Marseille to watch Michy Batshuayi in action. The 22-year-old marksman has scored 12 times for the Ligue 1 outfit this season, form that he's replicated on the international stage for Belgium. According to Metro, Spurs gaffer Mauricio Pochettino had his spies watch Batshuayi against Rennes last week and, aware of Arsenal's interest, he is "keen" to make a move for the Belgian striker next month.

Haven't actually seen him play a game, but based on what I've been reading and some quick youtube clips Bathuayi seems like one of the best fits around for us right now if we're going for someone at a level to come right in and perform. (Dembele, Embolo etc being younger and probably needing a bit more time).
What you're saying about him being able to play multiple roles/positions makes that even more the case imo.
I think you're spot on that even for £25m he might not be available. But as we showed with Son this summer we might be willing to pay up for the right player.

There's that from @Robspur12? Any chance of including links with transfer gossip?
It's from the metro; there's a link within the article in the first line
The Metro is as bad as Sky Sports Understands.
But not quite as bad as the Express or Star which are like reading Twitter with a two week delay
Nothing is as bad as tacoter.
