Fabrizio Romano has said that Tottenham Hotspur are continuing to keep an eye on Lloyd Kelly, who is yet to make a decision on his future.
According to various reports over the last few days, Spurs are on track to secure a deal for Radu Dragusin, who is expected to arrive at Hotspur Way this week if all goes to plan in the negotiations between the Premier League side and Genoa (Football Insider).
However, with Eric Dier now potentially on his way out of the club as Bayern Munich prepare an offer for the centre-back (Sky Deutschland), it remains to be seen if Tottenham will look to add further reinforcements at the back during this month’s transfer window.
One man who continues to be mooted as a target for Spurs is Kelly, who can operate at centre-back or at left-back.
The 25-year-old’s current contract at the Vitality Stadium runs out next summer and Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth said a couple of days ago that the Lilywhites to circle over the player, who has not ruled out staying at Bournemouth and penning a new deal at the South Coast.

It appears as if the most likely outcome is for Kelly to leave Bournemouth on a free transfer at the end of the season. The foreign clubs would have an advantage over Spurs in the race for the 25-year-old as they can negotiate a pre-contract agreement with the centre-back right now.
