REVEALED: Mitchell identifies his first Tottenham signing

Tottenham are eyeing Celtic defender Virgil van Dijk.

The Daily Express says Spurs are set to enter the January transfer chase for Celtic's £10million-rated defender Van Dijk.

White Hart Lane boss Mauricio Pochettino will try to prise the Dutch-man away from the Scottish champions during the transfer window.

And key to the plan is Spurs' new head of recruitment and analysis - former Southampton star finder Paul Mitchell.

Mitchell was behind Southampton's failed £8m bid for Van Dijk in the summer.
