Tottenham are on the trail on Guingamp striker Claudio Beauvue, according to the club’s president.

Bertrand Desplat, who runs the Ligue 1 side, has claimed that Spurs, along with Hull, are following closely the progress of Beauvue, who has scored 25 times in all competitions this season.

According to reports in France, Desplat said: “Hull and Tottenham have already expressed interest. It seems it is the will of Claudio to go to England.”

Beauvue, 27, is listed as an attacking midfielder on his club’s official website but has caught the eye for his form in front of goal this term.

His 15 league goals place Beauvue fifth in the Ligue 1 scorers’ charts, a fine effort for a team in mid-table. The men ahead of him – Lyon’s Alexandre Lacazette, Andre-Pierre Gignac of Marseille and Paris St Germain duo Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani – play for teams in the top four. Indeed, Beauvue has scored more than a third of his team’s league goals this term.

Asked last month about his future, Beauvue said: “I don't know whether it will be in France or abroad, I do not have a priority. It is true though that I am very attracted to the Premier League.”

How Tottenham’s signings have fared this season 5 show all How Tottenham’s signings have fared this season 1/5 Eric Dier Mark: B



An extra mark for his recent improved performances and for the potential he clearly shows.



Dier has filled in again at right-back in this period of the season and has looked far more comfortable than he did when doing so earlier in the campaign.



However, the fact Pochettino wants to strengthen at the back suggest he is still to be convinced by Dier.



At 21, though, at least Dier has time on his side. Getty 2/5 Michel Vorm Mark: C



The Dutchman was never going to displace Hugo Lloris as Spurs' first-choice goalkeeper, which is why it seemed a curious decision to leave Swansea.



Apart from his error that helped Leicester knock Tottenham out of the FA Cup, Vorm has performed reliably when called upon, making 14 appearances in all competitions. 3/5 Ben Davies Mark: C



When he arrived from Swansea last summer, Davies was expected to become Tottenham's first-choice left-back. It has not worked out that way, with Pochettino showing a preference for Danny Rose in the big games - a preference justified by Rose's superior form.



Like Dier, though, the 22-year-old has plenty of seasons ahead.



He will be expected to be more assertive in both attack and defence. 4/5 DeAndre Yedlin Mark: N/A



Impossible to judge a player on 11 minutes' senior football.



Yedlin was signed with next season in mind and from July, he will be expected to challenge Kyle Walker for the right-back spot.



Spurs believe their decision to bring the USA defender to England six months ahead of schedule will pay dividends. 5/5 Benjamin Stambouli Mark: C



Has usually performed reasonably well when given the chance - but his opportunities have been relatively rare.



Signed from Montpellier last summer, the Frenchman now seems to be Mauricio Pochettino's fourth or fifth-choice central midfielder.



There is the suspicion that he lacks the pace to prosper in Pochettino's high-intensity style - and it seems Pochettino agrees.



After making only four Premier League starts by the end of April, it would be no surprise to see the 24-year-old return to France. 1/5 Eric Dier Mark: B

Meanwhile, Tottenham hope Danny Rose will be fit to return to the team for their final home game of the campaign, against Hull on Saturday.

The left-back has a groin injury and was left on the bench for the 3-0 defeat at Stoke on Saturday.
