Tottenham have reportedly placed Dutch defender Micky van de Ven on a shortlist alongside Edmond Tapsoba as Ange Postecoglou looks to bolster his side's defence by dipping into the transfer market.
Spurs leaked goals last season, including six in a defeat against Newcastle and the most out of any team in the Premier League's top 10.
Van de Ven is currently plying his trade at Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg and is wanted by Tottenham, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The 22-year-old made 36 appearances across the Bundesliga and German cup last season and has been earmarked for a move to the English top-flight since the end of the season.
