Tottenham strike target Vedat Muriqi has reportedly stated that he wants to move to the Premier League, if he is sold by Fenerbahce this summer.

Turkish newspaper Fotomac, via Sport Witness, claims that the Kosovo international has told the club’s board that he wants to continue his career in England, with Spurs still said to be interested in a move.

Jose Mourinho reportedly had scouts sent to watch the 26-year-old forward in action prior to the January transfer window opening, and that interest was ramped up when Harry Kane suffered a potential season-ending injury – although no deal transpired.

But it would appear that Spurs are still keen on bringing in Muriqi, who has scored 15 goals in 28 appearances for Fenerbahce this season, as a back-up to the England skipper.

The report adds that the Turkish giants could be forced to sell their star striker because of their poor financial situation, with several clubs ready to take advantage of the situation.

One of those clubs could be Manchester United, who have also been credited with an interest in Muriqi in the past, although it is thought that Spurs remain the frontrunners for his signature in England.
