Tottenham will face competition from West Ham for the signature of Genk striker Paul Onuachu, according to reports.

Atletico Madrid are also thought to be keeping tabs on the 6ft 7in centre-forward, who is expected to seek pastures new in January or at the end of the season.

However, Nuno Espirito Santo's squad does not contain a natural back-up to the 28-year-old.

Genk are thought to be holding out for £20m for Onuachu, and Tottenham would be willing to pay that amount for a back-up striker.

But Onuachu's next move will not necessarily be to the Premier League.

Onuachu recently changed agents and is now represented by Andy Bara, who has reportedly been tasked with securing a move to one of Europe's top five leagues.
