Sky Sports reported during the summer that Spurs were willing to shell out £60m to secure Martinez's signature, but his value may now have risen further after he penned a new £5m-per-year contract last month. Nevertheless, Jones has said that the Argentine is 'someone they're going to look back towards in January'.

According to FBRef, Martinez's profile is similar to that of Liverpool's Roberto Firmino, Chelsea's Timo Werner and Juventus' Alvaro Morata.

The latest

Jones told GIVEMESPORT that Martinez intends to test himself in England and reckons that the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could be an appealing destination.

The journalist said: "He's got eyes on getting to the Premier League and I think that he would be really interested to join Spurs."

The verdict

It looks as if Spurs may still be drawing up a succession plan for Harry Kane, who was of course the subject of serious interest from Manchester City in the summer.

Martinez isn't the only Serie A striker with whom Spurs have been closely linked in recent days, as Fiorentina's Dusan Vlahovic has also been named as a target.

At 24 and 21 respectively, and with both boasting rich scoring records in the Italian top flight, they both seen to have the credentials to lead the line for Spurs in the long-term.

Indeed, Martinez features on the list of nominees for this year's Ballon D'Or after helping Inter to the Serie A title, so imagine what a coup it would be for Conte to bring him to north London.
