Tottenham face competition from West Ham and Sevilla after being reportedly offered the chance to sign Marseille midfielder Maxime Lopez.
The 22-year-old is out of contract in just over a year's time and the French club are keen to avoid losing him on a free transfer.
He is set to leave at the end of the season after talks over a new deal stalled, prompting Spurs to join the race.
Jose Mourinho is an admirer of the France Under 21 international, but they have a battle on their hands to bring him to north London, according to the Daily Star.
