Tottenham chief Fabio Paratici is hoping to secure the signing of Franck Kessie from AC Milan.
The all action central midfielder is out of contract in the summer, and is unwilling to sign an extension with the San Siro club.
Spurs are aware that other clubs also want Kessie, including Manchester United and Liverpool.
However, Calciomercato suggests that Spurs are at the head of the queue to secure Kessie.
Manager Antonio Conte is a huge fan of the player, and knows him well from his time in Serie A.
