Tottenham are seriously interested in signing Joachim Andersen from Sampdoria.
According to Calciomercato, Spurs have a keen interest in the youngster, which has seen them hold talks with his club already.
Sampdoria vice-president Antonio Romei and club lawyer Paolo Busardo both traveled to London this week to work on a deal.
It is believed the young defender would cost nearly £22 million.
Anderson has been ever present for Sampdoria in the league this season.
The 22-year-old is seen as a Toby Alderweireld replacement at Tottenham.
