Following James Maddison's long-term injury, Tottenham are on the lookout for a quality playmaker, and it seems Paz fits the bill. But the report states that Como value the 20-year-old at around €70m (£60.5m), and so far, there has been no approval of a Spurs transfer from the attacking midfielder or the Italian team.

DID YOU KNOW?

Argentina international Paz, whose Como contract runs until 2028 after signing from Real Madrid a year ago for just €6m, scored six goals and added nine assists in 35 appearances for the Serie A team last season.
