Tottenham fullback Serge Aurier is attracting interest from Russia.
Sky Sports says Spartak Moscow are increasingly confident they can agree a deal with Tottenham for the permanent signing of right back Aurier.
Tottenham are prepared to allow Aurier to leave, with the defender open to the move as he believes his first team opportunities will be limited following the arrival of Matt Doherty.
Spartak made first enquiries earlier this month.
