According to reports, Tottenham Hotspur have \u2018burst into the race\u2019 as they look to fend off competition from several sides to sign a Rangers star.<\/p>\n
Under Thomas Frank, Spurs <\/a>have made a strong start to this season as they have emerged as a potential contender for Champions League qualification.<\/p>\n New signings Mohammed Kudus, Joao Pahlinha and Xavi Simons have made a positive impact as Tottenham have won four of their opening seven Premier League games to sit third in the table.<\/a><\/p>\n Frank <\/a>has steadied the ship following Ange Postecoglou\u2019s spell in charge and further investment via a possible takeover could provide a further boost in the coming months.<\/p>\n According to reports, Spurs already have one eye on the transfer market ahead of the winter window, with journalist Fraser Fletcher for our pals at TEAMtalk claiming<\/a> they are among the \u2018interested\u2019 clubs plotting a move for Rangers star Nico Raskin.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Liverpool priorities, Forest hubris and Man Utd stubbornness among top 10 f***-ups and regrets<\/a><\/p>\n Rangers\u2019 start to this campaign has been dire but Raskin has arguably been their standout performer, with the versatile centre-midfielder contributing five goal involvements in 14 appearances.<\/p>\n The talented 24-year-old has also broken into the senior Belgium squad and played the full 90 minutes in each of their games during this international break.<\/p>\n Wolves, Crystal Palace, West Ham United and Burnley are also said to be monitoring Raskin, but Tottenham\u2019s interest complicates matters for these clubs as Rangers are keen on a \u2018record-shattering deal\u2019.<\/p>\n A deal for Raskin next year is reportedly expected to be worth \u2018\u00a320-25m\u2019, and this would surpass the fee for Rangers\u2019 current record sale after they sold Calvin Bassey to Ajax for \u00a319.6m in 2022.<\/p>\n MORE SPURS COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 Regarding Raskin\u2019s stance on an exit, the report claims:<\/p>\n \u2018We understand Raskin was open to leaving Ibrox in the summer to test himself out at a new club. He was well aware of the interest in his signature, particularly from Palace.<\/p>\n \u2018But Raskin ended up staying at Rangers due to a lack of concrete offers. Things could be different in 2026, however.\u2019<\/p>\n Spurs are also said to be considering a move for\u00a0River Plate defender Lautaro Rivero, who is attracting interest from La Liga outfit Atletico Madrid.<\/p>\n Tottenham\u2019s interest is said to be a \u2018bombshell\u201d for River Plate, with journalist Hernan Castillo claiming that the club is aware that they could receive \u201can offer that they cannot refuse at any moment\u201d.<\/p>\n Spanish reporter\u00a0Pascual Ruiz Arnal added: \u201cAtl\u00e9tico de Madrid is one of the European teams keeping an eye on Lautaro Rivero.
