Tottenham are hoping to tempt newly-promoted Southampton into handing over Carlos Alcaraz this summer in a swap deal.
The Argentine midfielder joined the Saints from Racing Club in January 2023 and has scored eight goals in 47 appearances.
He spent the second half of last season on loan at Juventus, contributing one assist in 12 matches.
Southampton value the player around £30m and Spurs hope sending a player the other way will be a solution.
The £10m-rated centre-back is set to be offloaded this summer and could be used in a deal for Alcaraz, according to The Sun.
