Jose Mourinho wants to sign Tottenham transfer target, Jannik Vestergaard for AS Roma.
The former Spurs’ boss is an admirer of the Dane who shone at Euro 2020 before his country, Denmark, were eliminated at the semi-final stage by England.
He is one of the most sought-after defenders in the Premier League and has just a season left on his current Southampton contract.
He looks unlikely to sign a new deal and Tottenham wants to sign him before this transfer window closes.
The Lilywhites have been keen to add fresh faces to their squad and Fabio Paratici knows they need a defender.
The former Borussia Monchengladbach man will look to move to a top English club next, but the lure of working with Mourinho might be too much for him to turn down.
Todofichajes says the Portuguese boss has told his new club to sign the centre back and they have already started holding talks with Southampton on transferring him.
Although he has just a season left on his current deal, the report says Southampton still wants 18m euros for his signature.
Daniel Levy wouldn’t want to spend that much on him and will look to negotiate that fee down.
If the defender favours remaining in the Premier League, Tottenham would have the advantage.
