**It has been reported by ITA Sport Press that Tottenham are looking to make a fresh bid for Palermo’s Uruguayan striker Abel Hernández. The 21-year-old is highly regarded by Tottenham and saw a bid of £8.9 million rejected in the summer. With Pavlyuchenko looking more likely that he will part ways with the club in January; it leaves Adebayor and Defoe as the only two recognisable strikers.**

The likes of Real Madrid, Roma, Arsenal and Chelsea have all made past enquiries about the talented striker and it seems that an offer of around €20m would secure his services according to Hernández’s agent.

Hernández joined Palermo in the summer of 2009 from Peñarol and is under contract with the Serie A club until June 2013. The  Uruguayan has scored 13 goals in 51 appearances since he joined the club and 3 goals in his first 7 starts for the club this season.

A bidding war between the three London clubs does seem inevitable once the transfer window re-opens in January.
