Manchester United are continuing to work on a possible deal to bring Bryan Mbeumo to Old Trafford but could face competition from a Premier League rival.
United offered Brentford £55million for the 25-year-old earlier this week, but the bid was rejected.
A second offer is believed to be imminent, but United risk being foiled by a familiar foe. That is because Tottenham Hotspur — who beat United in last month's Europa League final, thus denying Ruben Amorim's team a place in next season's Champions League — are also keen on Mbeumo.
