Tottenham are tracking Shakhtar Donetsk striker Luiz Adriano ahead of a potential January move for the forward, according to the Daily Mail.
Spurs have maintained a long-standing interest in Shakhtar winger Willian but scouts sent to watch the Brazilian have now identified Adriano as a possible target too.
The 25-year-old is believed to also be attracting interest from Liverpool and Arsenal, with all three clubs thought to have had scouts watching him for Shakhtar against Chelsea in the Champions League last week.
The Brazilian made his breakthrough with Internacional, before moving to Europe and Shakhtar, scoring 45 goals in just 107 league appearances for the Ukranian giants.
Spurs could face complications in getting a work permit for the Brazilian although the club do not believe this would be an obstacle to the move.
