Tottenham have had their first offer for Argentinian international attacking midfielder Nico Paz rejected, believed to be in the region of 42.5 million euros including add-ons. The Como midfielder caught the eye in his maiden season in Serie A, with a return of six league goals from 35 games, and Spurs hope to wrap up a deal before the transfer window slams shut bringing Paz in as a replacement for James Maddison, who will miss most of the season with a serious injury.
