West Brom forward Jay Rodriguez has reportedly emerged as a surprise target for Tottenham Hotspur this week.

The striker has been linked with a move away from the Hawthorns throughout the course of the transfer window and as the deadline edges ever nearer, Spurs appear to have joined the race for his signature.

Rodriguez has been courted by numerous Premier League clubs this summer and has allegedly been the subject of a £16 million bid from Burnley in recent times.

Nevertheless, interest is still building with regards to a move for Rodriguez, with the Burnley Express indicating that Tottenham are the latest side to have expressed an interest in recruiting the player.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino enjoyed a strong working relationship with Rodriguez during the pair’s stint at Southampton together, and it seems a reunion is being lined up by the North London club.

Rodriguez is a wanted man, but West Brom are understood to be demanding a figure worth at least £18 million for their striker.

Will Rodriguez stay put with West Brom?
