Paz notched a brilliant assist and a world-class goal from an incredible free-kick in his side's comfortable 2-0 win over Lazio. The 20-year-old set up Anastasios Douvikas' opening goal with a sublime through ball shortly after the break, before doubling his team's tally in the 73rd minute with a beautifully struck free-kick. Paz found the back of the net with a left-footed, powerful shot from nearly 25 yards.

A fresh report from claims that after seeing their initial bid worth €40 million (£34.6m) rejected by Como, Spurs are now planning to come back with an improved €50m (£43m) offer. However, Como value the youngster at around €70m (£60.5m) and as of now, there has been no approval for a transfer from the attacking midfielder or the Serie A side.

Thomas Frank is desperate to add a new playmaker to his Tottenham side before the transfer window closes after missing out on primary target Eberechi Eze, who chose to join their arch-rivals Arsenal. The club will be back in action in the Premier League on August 30 as they take on Bournemouth.
