Spurs enter race for Fulham target

Tottenham have joined Fulham in the race to sign Dieumerci Mbokani, according to the player's representative.

However, Serie A champions Juventus are currently the front-runners for the Anderlecht man's signature.

Talksport revealed on Thursday that Mbokani, the DR Congo international, is receptive to a move to Turin, and his agent Fabio Baglio believes he could be on the move to Italy - although he also feels that Tottenham could be an option for the 26-year-old.

Speaking to Italian news site Violanews.com, he said: "Of all the clubs, Juventus is the most practical option. It is not a new thing, because they have already followed Dieu when he played for Standard Liege.

"There have been contacts between Anderlecht and Juventus and last week I was in Turin. A sale in January? You never know.

"There are many candidates, like Fiorentina, who are building a new team, and in England Tottenham are the most attractive option."

Fulham were thought to have attempted to lure Mbokani to Craven Cottage last year, but Anderlecht were unwilling to sanction his sale.
