Spurs made a bid for Rebic in 2013 before he joined Fiorentina

Mauricio Pochettino is interested in bringing Croatia forward Ante Rebic to Tottenham this summer, according to reports.

Rebic, the forward, has been on loan with Eintracht Frankfurt since the summer of 2016, and a deal has been agreed to take him to the Bundesliga side permanently from Fiorentina this summer.

However, on the back of a season in which he scored six goals and created a further three in 25 matches, Rebic has emerged as a target of Tottenham’s.

This is according to SportBild, who make it clear Spurs are only showing interest in the 24-year-old right now, with no official offer made or talks opened.

Spurs’ interest comes five years after first attempting to sign Rebic from RNK Split, with a £5m offer made for the then Croatia Under-21 international.

No deal could be agreed and Rebic, who is currently part of Croatia’s squad at the World Cup, joined Fiorentina.

He struggled to really establish himself with the Serie A side, and spent time away from the club on loan with RB Leipzig and Hellas Verona before finally settling at Eintracht.

The Bundesliga side are said to be open to selling Rebic as long as they receive upwards of £26m for him, as they have to pay a percentage of any fee to Fiorentina.
