According to talkSPORT Tottenham have sent scouts to track young French defender Junior Kingue.
The 19 year-old is currently at Santos of Brazil, having moved across the world after trialling with a host of clubs throughout Europe.
According to the article he spent time with both Manchester United and Manchester City in the Premier League, before taking in spells with Dutch sides Ajax, Twente and Feyenoord.
