Tottenham interested in Eintracht Frankfurt’s Bas Dost

Tottenham interested in signing Eintracht Frankfurt’s Bas Dost.

The former Dutch international has been identified by the Jose Mourinho as the hard-working target-man he wants to provide back-up to Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, as well as an alternative option off the bench.

This comes in the wake of the Portuguese complaints about laziness in his squad following their opening day defeat to Everton.

Frankfurt are understood to want £5.5million for Dost, having paid Sporting Lisbon £6.5m for him 12 months ago.

The 31-year-old scored 10 goals in Germany last season after netting 81 goals in 103 appearances for Sporting.

Tottenham tried to sign 6ft 5in striker Dost two years ago but were unable to complete the deal.

Tottenham have been among the most active Premier League clubs in the transfer market this summer, signing Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Matt Doherty for £15m apiece from Southampton and Wolves, as well as Joe Hart on a free transfer.

Tottenham travel to Bulgarian side Lokomotiv Plovdiv on Thursday for Europa League Qualification before another away trip to Southampton in the Premier League on Sunday.
