Tottenham are eyeing a move for Lille centre back Sven Botman but face a tough task to win the race for his signature, according to reports.
After shining in Ligue 1 in the heart of Lille's defence, Botman has also attracted interest from reigning Premier League champions Liverpool and current Serie A leaders Inter Milan.
But according to France Football, Spurs are hoping to convince the £40million-rated defender to head to north London.
There had previously been suggestions that Tottenham had already convinced the Dutchman and his representatives to make the move to London but this is not the case.
