Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Chelsea<\/a> striker Nicolas Jackson is a name Tottenham have \u201cdiscussed internally\u201d this summer.<\/p>\n

Spurs narrowly avoided relegation to the Championship last term with a 1-0 win over Everton on the final day of the season preserving their Premier League status.<\/p>\n

The Tottenham<\/a> hierarchy don\u2019t want to find themselves in a relegation battle again next year and they have made six signings to make sure that doesn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n

Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson and Martin Dubravka have arrived on free transfers, while \u00a3237m was spent on Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes and Jan Paul van Hecke.<\/p>\n

Tottenham are now looking to improve their attack in the final weeks of the summer with Spurs looking for two, maybe three, new signings before the window shuts.<\/p>\n

The Daily Mail reported earlier this week<\/a> that Tottenham are \u2018interested\u2019 in Chelsea striker Jackson, who spent last season out on loan at Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

Giving his understanding of Tottenham interest in Jackson, Romano told his YouTube channel<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cTottenham are exploring the possibility of signing a striker this summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have discussed several names internally, including Omar Marmoush.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Nicolas Jackson, despite reports over the last 24 hours, there is nothing close or imminent with Tottenham.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is not a priority and there are no advanced negotiations. He is simply one of several names discussed internally.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t forget Aston Villa\u2019s interest in Nicolas Jackson. Villa consider him one of their priority targets, but everything depends on how much they can spend.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have already signed Alejandro Garnacho on loan from Chelsea, so they cannot take another Chelsea player on loan during this transfer window.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat means any move for Jackson would have to be permanent, and the finances will determine whether it is possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother important factor is Unai Emery\u2019s relationship with Jackson. They worked together at Villarreal, have an excellent relationship and Emery would love to work with him again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cody Gakpo remains another top target for Tottenham<\/p>\n

Liverpool winger Cody Gakpo is another player on Tottenham\u2019s list but the Reds are not currently keen on letting the Netherlands international leave.<\/p>\n

Romano confirmed: \u201cTottenham want to sign two wingers this summer and Cody Gakpo remains another top target.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have already explored the move, but it is not easy because Liverpool want to keep Gakpo and consider him a very important player.<\/p>\n

\u201cTottenham have made contact with people close to the player to understand the cost of the deal and whether it would be possible to bring him to Roberto De Zerbi\u2019s squad.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo this remains one of the most interesting winger situations to follow.\u201d<\/p>\n
