Is Fabio Borini on his way to Tottenham?

In what would surely be the most Spurs transfer ever, the London club have been linked with a move for the out-of-favour striker - in the Italian media, of course - in case their move for West Brom man Saido Berahino falls through.

Website Tuttomercatoweb says the 24-year-old has attracted interest from a host of Serie A clubs, with Fiorentina, Lazio, Inter Milan and Bologna all mentioned.

But Spurs may be about to step in, they say. Fantastico.

Elsewhere, African Football report Nigerian teenager Taiwo Awoniyi has moved closer to signing for Liverpool as he is expected to fly out to England for a medical.

“He will leave this week for England to sign his contract with Liverpool and that is why he is not here training with us for the All Africa Games,” said Nigeria Under-23 spokesman Timi Ebikagboro.

The website claims Awoniyi, who turned 18 earlier this month, claims Awoniyi will sign a long-term deal at Anfield and be loaned elsewhere.

The striker has also attracted attention from Monaco, Porto and Red Bull Salzburg.

And finally, Bayer Leverkusen star Hakan Calhanoglu would be perfect for the Reds - according to Owen Hargreaves.

“Calhanoglu is the star he is the feature of this team if you think about Liverpool or Tottenham he would be perfect in those teams,” Hargreaves said after the German side's 3-0 win over Lazio.

Of course, Leverkusen qualified for the Champions League last night, so Hargreaves might not get his wish.
