Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly in 'pole position' to sign Ruslan Malinovskyi in January after Nottingham Forest were previously linked with the Atalanta player.
The Ukraine international was expected to leave the Italian side during the summer transfer window when Spurs were also credited with an interest in the player alongside the Reds. Malinovskyi didn't secure a move away from the Serie A side, though, and has since featured in all but one of the club's matches this season.
After the disappointment of failing to secure a transfer to the Premier League, the attacking midfielder has not hit the same heights as last campaign so far when he scored half a dozen goals and assisted a further five. Just one single strike and a pair of assists were contributed before the World Cup.
