Tottenham are monitoring Celtic midfielder Ismaila Soro.
The 22-year-old was a £2.7million signing from Israeli side Bnei Yehuda in January last year but barely figured under former manager Neil Lennon.
That hasn’t dissuaded Tottenham though who recognise the Ivory Coast-born Soro as a holding player of talent who could bolster their squad.
He has gone on to make 20 appearances this season but there would still be obstacles around him earning a work permit should he move south with an appeal necessary if talks progress.
Tottenham are assessing a number of targets but will be working under a restricted budget.
