Tottenham Hotspur reportedly add Fiorentina's Arthur Cabral to a shortlist of potential replacements for Harry Kane.

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly added Fiorentina striker Arthur Cabral to a shortlist of potential replacements for Harry Kane.

The England captain is attracting interest from a number of Europe's biggest clubs, including Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.

Bayern are believed to be leading the race to secure his signature, and the 30-year-old is allegedly open to joining the German champions.

Kane has entered the final 12 months of his contract, and he is currently refusing to agree a new deal with the North London club.

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is still planning to have Kane in his squad next summer, while there is a possibility that the forward could sign a new deal towards the end of next season.

However, Spurs are also starting to draw up contingency plans in case they lose their all-time record goalscorer during the current transfer window.

According to the Daily Mail, Tottenham are pricing up alternative options to Kane, with Cabral emerging as a potential target.

The 25-year-old racked up 65 goals in 106 appearances for Basel, earning him a move to Italian side Fiorentina in January 2022.

Since joining La Viola, the Brazilian has scored 19 goals and provided four assists in 64 games across all competitions.

Cabral played a key role in Fiorentina's run to the Europa Conference League final last season, registering seven goals in 14 appearances.

With three years remaining on the player's current deal, Fiorentina are in a strong position when it comes to negotiating a transfer fee.

A recent report claimed that Flamengo forward Pedro has also been added to a shortlist of possible successors to Kane.

Lille's Jonathan David and Juventus' Dusan Vlahovic are two more strikers that reportedly feature on Tottenham's radar.
