Tottenham added Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski to the ranks in the January transfer window, but they are already thinking about the summer window.
Manager Antonio Conte still want reinforcements and football managing director Fabio Paratici is looking at young central defenders.
One of the defenders that Tottenham are keen on is Lille centre-back Botman, who is expected to be for available for transfer in the summer.
Newcastle had multiple bids for Botman rejected in the January window and could go back in for him if they retain their Premier League status.
The French club though are now bracing themselves for a bidding war for Botman in the summer as the defender is sure to be in demand.
Inter’s Alessandro Bastoni and and Leipzig’s Josko Gvardiol are also on Tottenham’s radar.
Botman is looking to take the next step when the summer rolls around and it remains to be seen if he will be playing his football in north London next term.
