Rumour Reel: Man City chase Dortmund’s Aubameyang for club record fee

The forward in Mauricio Pochettino’s sights is AZ Alkmaar scoring sensation Vincent Janssen, with Spurs hoping to complete a £12m deal for the Netherlands international attacker this year, after he ended Eredivisie top marksman with 27 successful strikes in 34 appearances.

Despite other interest from the likes of Wolfsburg, Atletico Madrid and AC Milan, Janssen looks set to complete a move to White Hart Lane, where Pochettino will hope he can have an impact in their Champions League exploits.

The 21-year-old goal-getter reached the 30-strike mark for the recent season for both club and country, including dispatching a penalty in an international friendly victory over England in March, and he could soon be gracing the top flight for Spurs after a rampant rise to prominence.

Klopp makes Mane a target

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was recently pictured overseeing Gonzalo Higuain’s performances for Argentina at the Copa America, but the German coach has reportedly outlined Southampton winger Sadio Mane as a target.

The Reds would be expected to fork over at least £30m for the Saints wideman though, with the Senegalese star having fired in 15 goals in all competitions for his current club, which could soon lose another pivotal player to the Anfield outfit, following the likes of Adam Lallana, Nathaniel Clyne and Dejan Lovren.

Southampton’s 24-year-old attacker would provide Liverpool with a great deal of pace and creativity from the wide areas next season, though they could reportedly face competition for his signature from rivals Man Utd.
