Tottenham 'will have to pay at least £69m for Darwin Nunez this summer', with Portuguese giants Benfica 'ready to slash his enormous £127m release clause' amid interest from Arsenal and West Ham

Tottenham will reportedly have to break their transfer record to sign Benfica star Darwin Nunez should the club let Harry Kane leave in the summer.

Spurs will be in the market for a replacement if their talismanic striker, who has emerged as a prime target for Manchester United, departs the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

But Kane's potential successor will not come cheap as Benfica have slapped a price tag of at least £69million on Nunez, according to Portuguese newspaper O Jogo.

O Jogo reported the club are willing to slash his release clause of £127million to facilitate a deal for the 22-year-old Uruguayan - who has taken the Primeira Liga by storm, scoring 26 goals in 33 appearances for Benfica this season.
