Tottenham have held initial discussions with Brentford about a deal for Bryan Mbeumo, who is more intrigued in a Spurs move now that Thomas Frank has been appointed head coach.
Spurs are interested in Mbeumo and Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo.
Having appointed Frank as head coach on Thursday, Spurs have received encouragement about a potential deal for Mbeumo, who was the Austrian's star man at Brentford.
Manchester United are also interested in Mbeumo, and had a bid rejected for Mbeumo before Spurs started talks to hire Frank. The offer consisted of a guaranteed £45m plus £10m in bonuses.
Sky Sports News reported last week that United are expected to make another offer for the Cameroon star.
There is a feeling at Brentford that Mbeumo has earned the chance to move to a bigger club this summer if one meets his valuation, which is in excess of £60m.
Last week, Sky Sports News reported Spurs had stepped up their interest in Bournemouth forward Semenyo prior to sacking Ange Postecoglou. Man Utd are also interested in the player.
What do the stats say?
Sky Sports Data Editor Adam Smith:
Bryan Mbeumo scored 20 goals in the Premier League last season to help Brentford secure a top-half finish - only three players scored more.
He also notched seven assists but should have registered more, clocking a league-topping 9.26 expected assists during the campaign - primarily from delivering a table-topping 202 crosses.
Additionally, only two players covered more distance or attempted more sprints for the season, making him one of the hardest grafters in the league. He also provides serious pace - clocking the fourth-fastest speed at 36.63 km/h.
Only Mohamed Salah collected more form points than Mbeumo last term, according to the Sky Sports Power Rankings.
Factoring in decisive goals or assists that changed the outcomes of games, his 27 goal contributions earned Brentford 22 points - equating to 40 per cent of the Bees' season tally.
Mbeumo can also create something from nothing. According to expected goals (xG), he scored nearly eight goals more than the quality of chances presented to him last season - more than any other player in the Premier League.
Sky Sports to show 215 live PL games from next season
From next season, Sky Sports' Premier League coverage will increase from 128 matches to at least 215 games exclusively live.
And 80 per cent of all televised Premier League games next season are on Sky Sports.

Amorim does not have the money to sign these players. So allow those with enough money to sign them and these players wants to play in the Champions League so let them go. They don't have Man U at heart.
