Tottenham have made Leicester City’s Ben Chilwell one of their summer targets as Jose Mourinho looks to solve his longstanding defence problems.
Spurs have struggled at the back this season and have several underperforming defenders on their books.
They have convinced Toby Alderweireld to sign a contract extension, but they look likely to lose Jan Vertonghen who is set to get a free transfer out of the Tottenham Stadium this summer.
FootMercato is reporting that Jose Mourinho has made a list of targets to help his side solve their defensive problems and Chilwell is one of them, as he considers the full-back the ideal long term replacement for Danny Rose.
Chilwell has been one of the most consistent left-backs in the country for the past two seasons. He snubbed Liverpool earlier in his career and he has now developed into an England international at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester City is known to be open to selling any of their players, but they always sell them at a premium and Spurs can be expected to be quoted a significant transfer fee for the 23-year-old.
The same report also claims that Issa Diop of West Ham is another player that is attracting the attention of Jose Mourinho as part of his plans to make his defence stronger.
