Overview

• Tottenham have officially joined the pursuit of the 23-year-old forward and are expected to lodge a bid imminently.
• Rennes are demanding up to £34 million to release Kalimuendo, whose contract with the French side runs until 2027.
• Spurs face competition from Nottingham Forest, RB Leipzig and Villarreal for the player’s signature.
• Manager Thomas Frank is targeting reinforcement up front after Dominic Solanke’s uneven form and Richarlison’s fitness setbacks.
