Tottenham front-runners to sign Batshuayi

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly heading the queue to sign Marseille striker Michy Batshuayi. The Belgian international has been tipped to leave the French outfit due to their ongoing financial crisis.

Batshuayi has been long linked with a move to the Premier League with interest high from the likes of West Ham United and Arsenal.

However, The London Evening Standard suggests that Spurs are in pole position to land the young marksman following their excellent progress in the top flight this season.

The report goes on to state that Marseille would be willing to cash in on the player's services, provided any club match their £30m asking price.

Spurs are currently second in the league standings, eight points adrift of toppers Leicester City.
