Tottenham Hotspur step up interest in Javier Hernandez, Saido Berahino

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly stepping up their pursuit of Javier Hernandez and Saido Berahino.

According to the Evening Standard, Spurs are confident of signing at least one of the two strikers before the end of the summer transfer window.

Mauricio Pochettino is believed to be keen on bolstering his forward line as he looks to take pressure off last season's top scorer Harry Kane.

Spurs are looking to take Hernandez on a season-long loan, but Manchester United are thought to be reluctant to give a player to a potential top-four rival.

Meanwhile, Berahino's future at West Bromwich Albion is said to be in doubt after Tottenham made an enquiry into his availability last month.

The North London outfit are expected to make an improved bid and could treble Berahino's current wages should he move to White Hart Lane.
