It wouldn't be that much of a gamble. A young player for a relatively low fee (and wage). It says the fee would be 15m euros, which is £11m.
Far less of a risk than paying 2-3 times the amount for an overpriced EPL-based player like Benteke or Berahino
For a start the two players you mention would be more like 2 times the amount and not 3 times. In fact Berahino would probably be closer to 1.5 times the amount. I can't help but think here that you rate this guy higher than Benteke and Berahino simply because he plays in a foreign league. You say "far less risk" but in actual fact signing Zaza would be a bigger risk as he might completely fail in England.
Daily Mail understand Tottenham have begun talks with Dnirpo to sign Ukraine winger Yevhen Konoplyanka
I think he means to sign him in JanuaryWe don't need to talk with Dnipro. We can sign him on a pre-contract.

Lennon out for £7,000,000 and Konplaynka in for round about the same price might be shrewd business. Admittedly, I haven't seen much but he did impress me last year in the EL.
Konoplanynka would be free - he's out of contract and we can sign him on a pre-contract.
Or if we want to negotiate an early release, we do that after he's signed, and then pay a negligible £1-2m, like we did with Holtby.
I'd prefer Ayew though (who similarly can sign on a pre-contract).
Konoplyanka is out of the contract in the summer but Dnirpo reportedly want to sell this month for around £7M.
Free players are great, get them all in, if they are crap we can sell them for a profit
I would love Konoplyanka, could play any of the three behind the striker and can go past players with ease. Would definitely help unlock those packed defences.
