Here is your Tottenham morning digest on Friday, December 30.
Spurs lead the way for Amrabat
Tottenham are said to be front-running the race to land Fiorentina ace and Morocco World Cup star Sofyan Amrabat.
The 26-year-old has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, and according to reports via Express, Antonio Conte wants to bolster his midfield options by bringing the player to England.

UEFA Champions League football is thought to be a priority for Amrabat, and with La Viola currently down in 10th position at present, Spurs may be able to lure the player to the club later this year.
Rumoured to cost the club around £40million, the former Club Brugge man has also been linked with Liverpool but it is thought the Lilywhites hold an upper hand at present.
Conte handed Malinovskyi boost
Tottenham are said to have been handed a timely boost in their pursuit of Atalanta star Ruslan Malinovskyi.
Sports Witness have reported how previously interested Marseille have now curtailed their interest in the player, leaving the door wide open for Conte and Fabio Paratici to look to negotiate terms with the Ukrainian when his contract expires this summer.
The 29-year-old is thought to be keen on a move to the Premier League whilst Conte has first hand seen the midfielder's talents during his time with Inter Milan.
Mac Allister blow
Tottenham have been handed a huge blow in their pursuit of Brighton midfielder and World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister.
That's because recent reports claim that the Argentina international has already chosen his next club ahead of the January transfer window.
The 24-year-old has continued to impress since breaking into the first-team at the Amex Stadium, seeing his stock rise ever since then.
It reached an all-time high earlier this month as he and his fellow compatriots won the World Cup, winning one of the most dramatic finals in history.
