Tottenham have joined the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea in showing their interest for Aston Villa forward Christian Benteke.
Benteke has been easily the best player for Villa this season, and the Belgian international is expected to move on at the end of the season, irrespective of whether Villa stay in the English Premier League or not.
The likes of Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea are keeping tabs on the 22-year-old, who is rated by Villa at around £15 million ($23 million), while there is also interest from Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid.
Spurs have now joined the queue with Andre Villas-Boas ready to make a move in the summer, according to the Daily Mirror.
Benteke's agent Kismet Eris said his client was keen on making the step up, while preferring to remain in the Premier League.
"It is normal that if you go to a club and do well, then other clubs will show an interest," Eris said.
"Christian has shown that he can play in England. So why not take the step up to the next level if the opportunity is there?
"At the end of the season interested clubs will talk to Villa - but it has to be right for Villa, the buying club and Christian.
"If all three parties are agreeable then something could happen. But right now his focus is on Aston Villa -- and helping them stay in the Premier League.
"He wants to repay Paul Lambert for the faith that has been shown in him. He has scored a lot of goals this season and wants to give 100 percent between now and the end of the season.
"But Villa will now ask a big price for Christian, much more than they paid for him, because Paul Lambert was the one who gave him his chance. There will be clubs asking about Christian next summer because he's proved he can do it in England.
"None of the big clubs wanted to take a chance on Christian when he was still unknown. I have been with Christian for 10 years now. I know what his ambitions are, he wants to do well in England."
Spurs fans might have a slight problem if Benteke was to join in the summer though, with the Belgian previously openly admitting he is an Arsenal fan.
