Tottenham are lining up a shock move for Liverpool striker Divock Origi as to look to fill the void left by Harry Kane.
After sustaining an ankle injury in the 1-0 defeat to Manchester United last Sunday, Kane has been ruled out until early March and will miss at least six scheduled Premier League matches.
With Heung-Min Son away on international duty and Lucas Moura also absent through injury, manager Mauricio Pochettino’s side look desperately short of options in attack.
The club have even planned a ‘top-level meeting’ to discuss how to deal with Kane’s absence over the next couple of months such is his importance.
Origi, 23, has just 18 months left on his Liverpool contract and has only made two appearances in the Premier League this season, but in one of those he did net a dramatic stoppage-time winner against Everton and is being considered by Spurs, according to The Telegraph.
The Belgian spent the 2017/18 season on loan with Bundesliga side Wolfsburg, but did not impress scoring only six times in 34 games.
Fernando Llorente, who scored a hat-trick in the FA Cup defeat of Tranmere at the beginning of the month, is the only other senior striker at Pochettino’s disposal, but he has not netted in the league for over a year.
