Tottenham are weighing up an approach for Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite.
Their interest, which could be formalised as soon as this week, comes despite the Toffees telling suitors that Branthwaite is not for sale this summer.
Chelsea have been pondering over a swoop and Spurs were expected to test the waters, but David Moyes wants the in-demand England international to stay.
Manchester United saw offers worth around £50million rejected last year while Liverpool and Manchester City have also kept a close eye on the centre back.
