Tottenham are continuing negotiations with Genoa to sign Romanian defender Radu Dragusin this week.
There has been rival interest shown by Napoli and Bayern Munich to a lesser degree but discussions with Spurs are still on track.
Genoa want around £26million for Dragusin, with Spurs understood to have made a verbal proposal of around £21m.
Talks are ongoing on Monday as the 21-year-old hopes to join up with Spurs by the end of the week.
Dragusin joined Genoa permanently in the summer having spent last season on loan from Juventus, helping them win promotion back to the top-flight.
