The Sun – LONDON, Tottenham have stepped up their interest in Porto strike sensation Mehdi Taremi, according to reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Iran international hit 31 goals in 51 games last season as his club won the Portuguese Cup and League Cup.<\/p>\n

Taremi, 31, won a league and cup double with Porto in 2022, and has 80 goals from 147 games with the Primeira Liga side.<\/p>\n

Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou faces the real prospect of losing Harry Kane, with Bayern Munich still trying to sign the England captain.<\/p>\n

And reports in both Portugal and Iran claim Tottenham chiefs have opened talks with Taremi’s advisors about a potential move to north London.<\/p>\n

Taremi has just has a year left on his contract and Porto want around \u00a317million for him.<\/p>\n

They paid league rivals Rio Ave a bargain \u00a34.25m for the striker in 2020.<\/p>\n

Dubbed a late bloomer, Taremi has previously attracted interest from Manchester United and Chelsea.<\/p>\n

He scored an incredible bicycle-kick goal in Porto’s 1-0 Champions League win over the Blues in April 2021.<\/p>\n

He also netted when he scored against England during Iran’s 6-2 loss during the 2022 Qatar World Cup group stage.<\/p>\n

Taremi won a Persian Gulf Pro League title with Persepolis in 2017 before joining Qataris Al-Gharafa.<\/p>\n

Capped 68 times, he has taken to European football like a duck to water since moving to Rio Ave four years ago.<\/p>\n

And the striker could now become Spurs’ Prince of Persia if Kane’s transfer saga ends in a move to Germany.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
