TOTTENHAM are reportedly ready to move for West Ham star Manuel Lanzini in the January transfer window.
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is believed to a keen admirer of his Argentinian compatriot, and will look to test the Hammers' resolve.
According to ESPN, sources close to both clubs have revealed that the North London side are interested in acquiring Lanzini's services.
The 24-year-old is arguably West Ham's best player following the departure of Dimitri Payet, where he has shone at the London Stadium.
Since arriving to England, the former River Plate ace has netted three goals against the Lilywhites, where his strike in the 1-0 win last season effectively ended Tottenham's chances of winning the Premier League.
It is reported that the ex-Southampton boss wants to add further creativity to his side as they look to pip their rivals to finish in the top four. But with West Ham currently embroiled in a relegation battle, it is highly unlikely David Moyes will allow the Argentinian international to depart.
He is currently tied down until 2020 after making his loan move from Al Jazira permanent in 2016. Lanzini has netted just once for the East London club this season, and missed a penalty against Everton in a 4-0 loss on Thursday night.
SunSport reported earlier this month that Spurs were monitoring the progress of the playmaker.
