Tottenham are threatening Arsenal plans for Sampdoria defender Joachim Anderson.

The London Evening Standard says Spurs are tracking Andersen.

The 23-year-old Dane is among the possible replacements for Toby Alderweireld if the Belgian's £25million release clause is triggered by a rival club this summer.

Andersen is also a target for Arsenal, who have bid for both he and Samp teammate Dennis Praet.

Spurs are unlikely to make a move until Alderweireld's future is resolved and they have strengthened their midfield.
