Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino isn't giving up his bid for Southampton defender Dejan Lovren.
Lovren has declared this week he wants to move to Liverpool.
But the People says Pochettino is stepping up his bid to take Lovren to Tottenham.
New boss Ronald Koeman wants Lovren to stay but it's thought the defender - on holiday after playing for his country in the World Cup - is adamant he wants to leave.
Pochettino wants the big Croatian to join him at White Hart Lane as he plans for the new season, but Spurs will have to come up with close to £20m to seal a deal.
Liverpool are still in the frame, but their pursuit of a replacement for bite-ban striker Luis Suarez is their number one priority.
