The Gonzalo Higuain decision that could affect Tottenham and Jose Mourinho's transfer plans

Juventus could turn their attention towards Tottenham striker Harry Kane in the summer transfer window as they seek to rejuvenate their attacking ranks.

The Serie A champions have a devastating attacking line at their disposal, including the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala -the latter of which was heavily linked with a move to the Premier League last summer.

However, they look set to lose the services of Gonzalo Higuain as he is currently stalling in return to Turin due to the coronavirus crisis, as he is in his native Argentina.

Juventus are now in the market for a replacement and Corriere dello Sport claims the 'ideal replacement' is Tottenham and England forward Kane.

Kane has recently revealed he is open to an exit from North London if they are unable to match his trophy ambitions and wouldn't stay at Tottenham 'for the sake of it'.

Manchester United have regularly been linked with a move for the England captain but it has since been reported they are not considering an approach this summer.

Juventus could present an option for Kane though, with Higuain likely to be on the way out as La Repubblica suggests an early contract termination could save the Italian side around £23m.

Higuain's current contract is due to expire in 2021 and is said to even be considering scrapping the idea of returning to Italy altogether, with links of a move to Qatar and the MLS.

If Juventus were to move for Kane, a significant transfer fee will need to be presented with reports suggesting a fee as high as £200m. is being demanded.
