Tottenham are eyeing Everton midfielder James McCarthy.

The Daily Mail says Tottenham are monitoring developments with Everton midfielder McCarthy.

The Republic of Ireland man did not travel with the club to Hull on New Year's Day as he protects his hamstring injury. However, clubs have become aware that he has grown frustrated following the lack of talks over a revised contract.

The 24-year-old only joined Everton from Wigan in 2013 for £13million and signed a five year deal. It is understood that was linked with incentives and Roberto Martinez has since hinted that he would discuss new terms with the player to reward his performances.
