Tottenham are understood to be among the favourites to sign Paris Saint-Germain winger Ezequiel Lavezzi this month, a quick-footed Argentine who would bring more width and penetration to Pochettinos side. The 30-year-old is out of contract in the French capital at the end of the season and is widely expected to leave PSG before then, although the fact that he has admitted to being homesick for Italy, where he played with Napoli until 2012, appears to cast doubt on a Premier League switch. That said, reports have tipped Spurs as the frontrunners for his services, while their arch rivals Arsenal are also rumoured to be monitoring the situation closely. Equally at home on the wing, as a supporting striker or attacking midfielder, Lavezzi has garnered plaudits for his workrate on the field, creativity and technique - attributes that have helped him earn almost 50 international caps for Argentina.
