Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are understood to still be interested in Anzhi Makhachkala striker Lacina Traore.
French outfit Monaco are leading the race for the Ivorian’s signature having discussed the option of taking the frontman to Ligue 1 with his current club.
However, Monaco can expect attempts from Liverpool and Tottenham to bring Traore to the Premier League this January as both clubs look to add attacking reinforcements.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is chasing another forward to support Luis Suarez following an injury to Daniel Sturridge and has held a long-standing interest in Traore.
Meanwhile, Tottenham have been poor in front of goal so far this term having netted just 22 goals in 19 league games with £26 million signing Roberto Soldado yet to find his feet in English football.
There are still doubts over the long-term form of Emmanuel Adebayor and Spurs boss Tim Sherwood may have to replace Jermain Defoe this winter with the England frontman continually linked to MLS outfit FC Toronto.
Lyon striker Bafetimbi Gomis is reportedly a target for the north London side and SportsDirect News understands Traore is another name to have been mentioned at White Hart Lane.
The Ivorian stiker has scored 13 goals in 29 games for Anzhi but looks set to leave Russia after the club’s billionaire owner Suleiman Kerimov took the decision to recoup some of the millions he forked out by selling the star players.
