Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho is eyeing Rangers defender Borna Barisic.

The Sun says Spurs are preparing for life without Jan Vertonghen by weighing up a move for £22million-rated Rangers defender Barisic.

Vertonghen, 32, is out of contract at the end of this season and appears to be no closer to signing an extension.

Barisic signed for Rangers from NK Osijek for just £2.2m in 2018 but is now worth ten times that thanks to his performances under Steven Gerrard at Ibrox.

It is understood plenty of clubs will be interested in him when the transfer window does reopen in the summer.

Roma considered a January offer but with Gers unwilling to sell mid-season, they look on course to test the waters again.
