Tottenham are currently leading the race to land in-demand Celtic striker Gary Hooper this month, according to reports.

The Bhoys hitman is wanted by Norwich, but following the Canaries’ bid of £5m plus Steve Morison which was rejected earlier this week, it now looks as though Spurs could steal a march on their Premier League counterparts and snatch Hooper from under their noses, according to Talksport.

Spurs boss Andre Vllas-Boas travelled to Scotland in the week to watch Celtic’s victory over Dundee United, where he saw the 24-year-old net a brace in the 4-0 win.

Hooper, who actually began his career as a youth player at White Hart Lane, has scored 21 goals in 31 appearances for Neil Lennon’s side this term, including three Champions League strikes, attracting attention from Premier League sides.




The former non-league player has enjoyed an incredible rise to stardom, from turning out at Grays Athletic’s Recreation Ground as recently as 2006, to playing at the Nou Camp just six years later.
