Fiorentina midfielder Riccardo Montolivo is interesting Tottenham.

Montolivo is on the outer at Fiorentina, having been stripped of the captaincy after refusing to pen a new contract.

Corriere dello Sport says Spurs are eyeing Montolivo as a replacement for Chelsea target Luka Modric.

A swap involving Niko Kranjcar has been suggested, though Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp will be reluctant to part with the Croatia international.
