Tottenham are reportedly targeting Southampton centre back Jannik Vestergaard this summer with under-pressure boss Jose Mourinho keen to bolster his defence.
The Spurs manager has come under scrutiny following his side's collapse in the last 16 of the Europa League and their faltering Premier League form since Christmas.
But the Daily Express report that Mourinho is pressing ahead with his planning for next season with Saints man Vestergaard one of the players he is considering as a summer transfer.
The report claims a move for the Danish international has been fast-tracked following Spurs' defensive performance against Newcastle last weekend.
