Porto midfielder Joao Moutinho remains top of Tottenham's shopping list.
The Daily Mail says Moutinho remains Andre Villas-Boas' No. 1 transfer target this month, with chairman Daniel Levy working on a potential deal.
Should it become clear the Portugal international is out of reach, then Spurs will look to other targets.
The White Hart Lane club have scouted Ajax midfielder, Christian Eriksen, Schalke's Lewis Holtby and Athletic Bilbao's Fernando Llorente in recent months.
Tottenham are also interested in Crystal Palace wonderkid Wilfried Zaha, who is a prominent target for Manchester United and Arsenal.
