# Tottenham make contact over deal to sign Liverpool target Asensio

Tottenham are reportedly looking to hijack a deal to sign one-time Liverpool and Chelsea target Marco Asensio.

[Marca, as cited on the Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/marco-asensio-transfer-tottenham-make-13717975), go as far as suggesting that contact over a deal has been made, with Spurs looking ahead to the January window.

Mauricio Pochettino is said to be a huge admirer of the player and believes he can add a lot of creativity to his squad.

Tottenham are keen to make a big signing in the new year after failing to land a single player over the course of the previous transfer window.

Asensio has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Liverpool [said to be interested](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2018/11/27/liverpool-still-keen-on-real-madrid-superstar-marco-asensio/).

Fellow Premier League rivals Chelsea have also been credited with an interest in the Spanish international.

[Reports have](https://readchelsea.com/2018/12/05/chelsea-could-sign-asensio-as-part-of-hazard-deal/)suggested that the midfield maestro could be offered to the Blues as part of any potential deal to take Eden Hazard to the Bernabeu next summer.
