Pavel Paska to hammer out talks with north London rivals for Serie A star

Everton and West Brom have also watched Schick, as have Serie A giants Inter Milan.
The youngster has a £21million release clause in his contract, although he is not expected to fetch as much as that.
Other reports claim Spurs have a max price of around £17m for the striker.
