Tottenham are prepared to shatter their transfer record and offer Roma £52m for Roma starlet Cengiz Under according to Italian outlet Calciomercato.
Per the source, Under could ‘soon be sold’ to Spurs who failed to sign a single player over the summer.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has expressed his frustration at the lack of transfer activity at the club.
Part of the problem the North London club have is their new stadium project costs are spiraling.
The Independent claim that the new stadium will cost in the region of £600m and they have been forced to borrow an additional £237m.
Under has also been targeted by Arsenal, Manchester United, Barcelona and Bayern Munich over the past few months.
Turkish-Football can confirm that the Gunners have been keeping close tabs on Under and that an end of season bid could be on the cards.
The Turkey international has been in impressive form scoring five goals and providing three assists for the Giallorossi.

It is worth highlighting that the transfer reports coincide with Under’s representatives holding contract talks with Roma.
Under is currently paid just €1m per-season and wants a pay increase.
The 21-year-old would become the most expensive Turkish international in history if he were to move for the figures being reported.
Roma take on CSKA Moscow next in the Champions League on Wednesday. Under is expected to start.
The young winger has two goals and two assists in the competition for the Serie A giants this term.
