Tottenham are convinced they can land Porto midfielder Joao Moutinho.
The London Evening Standard says Tottenham are confident that Moutinho's desire to work again with Andre Villas-Boas will enable them to sign the midfielder this summer.
Spurs are likely to lodge a formal bid for the Portugal international, who plays for FC Porto, when the sale of Luka Modric has been finalised.
Tottenham had hoped to pay about £20m but it is clear that this will not be enough.
