Leandro Damiao is back in Spurs' transfer plans and Harry Redknapp is also lining up bids for Marc Bartra of Barcelona and Le Havre's Gueida Fofana.
Tottenham were keen to land Brazil striker Damiao in June, but the 22-year-old opted to sign a contract extension with Internacional.
That pushed the Brazilian club's asking price up from £12million to £18million and forced Spurs into a rethink.
But with Peter Crouch set to join Stoke City, Redknapp has persuaded chairman Daniel Levy to make a new offer close to Internacional's valuation, reports the Sunday Times.
Should they get their man, Tottenham fans can look forward to seeing a new-look strikeforce of Damiao and Emmanuel Adebayor from next month.
Spurs are also ready to make a £6.7million offer for 20-year-old Bartra, who is on the fringes of the Barcelona first-team squad.
The European champions are willing to let the Spain Under-21s centre-back leave, but their desire to insert a buyback clause into the deal could be a stumbling block.
Fofana is a 20-year-old midfielder who is regarded as one of the rising stars of French football after playing for his country at this summer's Under-20 World Cup.
Le Havre have put a £1.2million price tag on Fofana, who is also a target for Manchester City.
