, Kalajdzic is on Spurs’ radar. He has enjoyed stunning campaign with Stuttgart after enduring a nightmare spell with injury in his first year in Germany.

The 23-year-old has scored 14 times in the Bundesliga. His record immediately becomes much more impressive when you consider he has only started 17 times in the top flight.

He obviously offers an aerial threat as he stands at 6ft 7ins. But he is also a player who makes clever runs and can be lethal in front of goal.

Spurs fans may prefer to sign a more established name. But if his form is a sign of what is to come, he could be an inspired addition should he move this summer.
