Tottenham are set to make an offer for Marseille striker Loic Remy, according to RMC.
The French publication claims that Harry Redknapp has identified the in-form 25-year-old as the ideal attacking reinforcement for his side, and will also include fellow hitman Roman Pavlyuchenko in a cash-plus-player proposal.
However, the chances of Marseille parting with Remy seem unlikely. The France international has bagged nine goals in all competition for Marseille this season, and has proved the Ligue 1 club's most potent threat in front of goal.
In addition, it is believed that sporting director Jose Anigo will stand firm on retaining the ex-Nice star's services during the transfer window, although he is understood to be an admirer of Pavlyuchenko's talent.
Despite a reasonable haul of 41 goals in 108 appearances for the Lilywhites, the Russia international has struggled to find consistency since his arrival from Spartak Moscow in 2008.
Marseille currently sit sixth in the French top-flight despite enduring a poor start to the campaign, while Spurs find themselves in third place in the Premier League.
