Tottenham are eyeing Hull City defender Harry Maguire.

The London Evening Standard says Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino wants to strengthen his defence for the new campaign and is likely to allow Kevin Wimmer to leave.

Maguire, 24, has impressed Tottenham scouts with his performances for Hull this term, where he has been at the forefront of their attempts to avoid relegation from the Premier League.

Maguire has shown he can operate in both a back three and a back four, is comfortable on the ball and quick to anticipate danger.

It is likely Hull would seek about £12-15million for Maguire, yet they are in a vulnerable position because his contract has less than 18 months to run.
