According to reporter Jacque Talbot of Football Transfers, a significant Tottenham Hotspur transfer development has now come to light involving Benfica star Darwin Nunez.

The Lowdown: Spurs set for busy summer?

Lilywhites boss Antonio Conte has now met with club chief Fabio Paratici in Italy as Spurs map out a list of summer targets (The Telegraph).

This comes after Premier League giants confirmed a £150 million capital increase which could seriously back Conte in the next transfer wind0w ahead of his first full season in charge.

On the transfer agenda, it is believed that the north Londoners are interested in landing an alternative frontman to star striker Harry Kane, with Talbot now sharing a significant update involving Nunez.

The Latest: Nunez meeting held...

According to the reporter, writing for Football Transfers, Spurs and representatives of the in-demand striker have held a meeting as they enter talks - though it is currently unclear whether Paratici and co wish to move further with a formal bid.

This comes as Tottenham, via Talbot, do 'want to bring in a marquee striker' for Conte.

The Verdict: Make the move...

As the north Londoners currently weigh pushing further, there is little denying that Nunez would add seriously quality going by his huge goal haul over 2021/2022 - not to mention the fact he has been labelled an 'absolute beast' by members of the media (Hari Sethi, Anfield Index Podcaster).

However, reports he could cost around £100 million could be a real deterrent for Spurs even despite their recent cash injection.

Tottenham and Paratici have to strengthen in other areas as Conte reportedly sets his sights on a major overhaul, so we believe the club should look at potentially cheaper alternatives first before deciding to press further for Nunez.
