Tottenham Hotspur have turned their attention to a highly rated young wide player, but they could face competition from a Champions League club for the player’s signature.
Roberto De Zerbi has Destiny Udogie, Pedro Porro and Djed Spence at his disposal at the moment, with Andy Robertson expected to join Tottenham on a free transfer.
While that would leave the Italian with four experienced options at full-back, rumours continue to suggest that Pedro Porro could be on his way out of Spurs this summer.
Amid the speculation over the Spain international’s future, the Lilywhites have reportedly set their sights on a 21-year-old right-back, who is posting impressive numbers in attack.

Het Laatste Nieuws have now revealed that Spurs have turned their attention to Royale Union Saint-Gilloise’s Anan Khalaili.
The 21-year-old, who primarily operates as a right wing-back, came of age at Union SG last season, finishing the campaign with six goals and six assists from 52 matches.
His performances have brought him to the attention of Spurs, who sent their officials to Belgium this season to track Khalaili’s performances.
Spurs believe that the right-back has big growth potential, and they have added him to their shortlist and are continuing to keep a close eye on his situation.
Spurs face competition for Khalaili as asking price revealed
HLN also reveal that Tottenham face competition from Napoli for the 21-year-old, with the Serie A club holding a ‘concrete interest’ in the wing-back.
The report states that it is ‘more than likely’ that Khalaili will leave Union SG this summer, adding that the player’s exit is ‘almost a certainty’.
The Belgian side are hoping to raise more than €25m (£21.6m) from the Israel international’s sale, which will make him the club’s record sale.
