The Daily Express claims Spurs are targeting Southampton defender, Jannik Vestergaard ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Danish defender has been one of the best in his position in the Premier League this season.
His absence in the Saints’ team has coincided with their drop in form and they have struggled in recent games.
Tottenham wanted to sign Milan Skriniar in the last transfer window but had to settle for Joe Rodon after they couldn’t reach an agreement over the Slovakian with Inter Milan.
Rodon is not yet to the level that Tottenham require and their draw and the manner of it against Newcastle recently has forced the club to fast-track a move for a new centre back.
Spurs will look to bolster their defence again when the transfer window reopens and the report says Vestergaard will likely join.
Jose Mourinho still wants to sign Skriniar, but a move for the Slovakian remains tough and it would become even harder now that he has regained his place in Antonio Conte’s team.
If they cannot get their man, the closest alternative they have is the Southampton defender.
With enough Premier League experience, Spurs will expect Vestergaard to adapt to the Lilywhites’ style of play almost immediately.
