Tottenham are in talks with Hajduk Split for midfielder Andrija Balic.
The Daily Mail says sporting director Franco Baldini has been in negotiations with the Croatian club over recent weeks and is looking to strike a deal for around £1.8million.
However, Split want closer to £4.5m for the coveted 16-year-old who has already broken into their first team.
The shaggy-haired teenager often plays in a defensive role for his club and has appeared for Croatia U18s. He was watched by Tottenham scouts playing against England in March.
