According to reports from Spanish publication El Desmarque, Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly is ‘really close’ to joining Tottenham Hotspur this month.
Spurs are thought to be looking to sign a defender this month with Jan Vertonghen’s future up in the air, and Juan Foyth failing to impress under Jose Mourinho.
Although signing a striker and an attacking midfielder is top priority for the north London club, Mourinho is also looking to sign a centre-back.
The report claims that Spurs are long-term admirers of Koulibaly. They have stepped up their chase for the Senegal defender, and are prepared to break the bank for him.
