Tottenham are eyeing a cut price deal for Lyon striker Bafetimbi Gomis as Tim Sherwood looks to add to his squad in January.

Sherwood,who was confirmed as Spurs’ new manager last week, has been told he will have funds to spend when the transfer window opens – but not much.

As such, the 44-year-old is on the look out for potential bargains, and Lyon hitman Gomis is topping his list.

The experienced France striker is available for around £5million after telling Lyon he wants to quit the club.

Newcastle and Rubin Kazan were both in talks to buy Gomis in the summer, but the deal collapsed at the last moment, and he eventually stayed put.



However, he is all but certain to move in the new year, with his contract running down, and Lyon are desperate to make sure they make some money on him.

Sherwood believes he would be a good addition to the Tottenham forward line, which is set to be weakened with the loss of Jermain Defoe, who is in talks with MLS club Toronto.

Contact over a deal is expected to make in the coming days.
