Tottenham Hotspur is showing an interest in Genoa forward Rodrigo Palacio.
The 29-year-old joined the Rossoblu in 2009 from Argentine giants Boca Juniors and has impressed in Serie A with form that led Inter to make an attempt to convince Genoa to part with their jewel in the summer.
At one point it did seem that Palacio would head to join the Nerazzurri as a replacement for Anzhi Makhachkala bound Samuel Eto’o, but the proposed deal fell apart and Genoa increased the forward’s wages and contract length.
The Serie A club though looks likely to have to resist an approach from English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur in January if Palacio is to end the season at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
Sources have indicated that Spurs have been impressed with the Argentine, although the White Hart Lane outfit has yet to make an official offer.
Palacio would be likely to be attracted by the opportunity to move to the Premier League and compete in Europe on a regular basis.
Renewed interest in the forward from Inter however, now coached by Claudio Ranieri, also cannot be ruled out.
