Daniel Levy is interested in signing James Maddison from Leicester City during the summer transfer window.
The Foxes' cunning midfield maestro, also a target for Newcastle, is a player Spurs wish to sign no matter who their next manager may be following the departure of Antonio Conte.
There were glimpses of what the 26-year-old can do alongside Harry Kane as they lined up for England against Ukraine last month and that creative sense of adventure has been sadly lacking at Spurs.
Former Tottenham idol Glenn Hoddle is a long-time advocate of signing Maddison and the club hierarchy are ready to deliver.
