Tottenham are reportedly eyeing a rising star of Argentinian football but face competition from European giants Atletico Madrid. The River Plate ace has enjoyed a rapid rise in recent years after being catapulted into the national setup from relative obscurity.

The win helped the Blues climb up to the fifth position on the league table.
