By Greg StobartTottenham are lining up a stunning £40 million double swoop for Porto stars Hulk and Radamel Falcao,can reveal.Spurs manager Harry Redknapp is desperate to bolster his attacking options in the summer transfer window and believes the duo could transform the Londoners' strikeforce following a dismal season in front of goal.understands Spurs scouts have watched the Porto duo “dozens” of times in the last 18 months and they are right at the top of the club's list of summer targets alongside Athletic Bilbao forward Fernando Llorente.Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is ready to smash the club's transfer record, £16.5m paid for Luka Modric in 2008, to add the “one or two top players” Redknapp believes can make Spurs challenge for the Premier League title next season.Porto have just clinched the Portuguese title and are in the semi-final of the Europa League but are believed to be willing to sell Hulk and Falcao in the summer to protect the club's financial future.Spurs made an enquiry for Hulk in the January transfer window and were told by the Porto side that the Brazilian would be available for around £25m at the end of the season. He has also been linked with Manchester United, and Tottenham accept that it will be hard to attract him to north London if they fail to qualify for next season's Champions League.The highly rated attacker, who usually plays from a wide position on the right but can also feature centrally, has scored 22 league goals in 24 games so far this season, guiding Porto to the title in Portugal.His agent, Teodoro Fonseca, appeared to offer encouragement to Spurs earlier this month when he suggested his client could be in line for a move to England.“He would really like to go to England where clubs pay well, but at the moment there are no offers," he said.﻿Falcao, 25, is a more conventional striker and is considered the natural goalscorer that Spurs have been so badly missing this season.The Colombian is in the form of his life and has starred in Porto's Europa League campaign this season, scoring 11 goals in as many games in the competition.The former River Plate man has also been linked with Arsenal, Tottenham's north London rivals, and would command a fee of at least £15m.Tottenham hope to wrap up transfer deals early this summer following the embarrassment of missing out on a number of players in the last two windows.While there is already a considerable budget in place – Spurs made several bids of more than £30m for strikers in January – the club would need to offload three of their current forwards to raise cash and free up wages for a mega spending spree.Robbie Keane is almost certain to leave the club and Redknapp is willing to sell any of his other three strikers – Jermain Defoe, Peter Crouch and Roman Pavlyuchenko – if replacements are lined up.Anderlecht teenager Romelu Lukaku is also being considered as an option to overhaul a strikeforce that has scored just 13 Premier League goals in total this season.Spurs failed with a £36m bid for Llorente in January and will make another attempt to sign the Spanish international if they qualify for the Champions League, although they accept it will be hard to convince the Real Madrid target to come to White Hart Lane.Villarreal forward Giuseppe Rossi is another option but the former Manchester United man has his heart set on a move to Barcelona.
