Michy Batshuayi wants £100,000-a-week to join Tottenham.

Belgian striker Batshuayi would, as it stands, go straight in as one of Spurs' top earners if they agree to meet his pay demands.

But the North Londoners are currently reluctant to sanction such a deal for the Marseille striker who is their top striker target.

Spurs are in talks with star man Harry Kane about a new deal which would smash their current wage ceiling and see his pay packet more than double and hit the £100,000-a-week mark.

But while that bumper deal would be a reward for the England striker for two stunning seasons, Spurs are less willing to hand Batshuayi a first deal at that level.

Spurs' current highest earners are goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and Mousa Dembele on around £80,000.

Their stalling has opened the door for their rivals including Chelsea.

They also have Batshuayi in in their sights and would be prepared to meet Marseille's £31m asking price and pay the 22 year-old what he wants.

Meanwhile Spurs are considering alternative options. As revealed by Mirror Sport on Tuesday, they have held talks with Holland hotshot Vincent Janssen about a £12m move to White Hart Lane from AZ Alkmaar.

West Brom's Saido Berahino and Sporting Lisbon's Islam Slimani are two other frontmen on their radar.
