However, they want to add another left-footed defender, with their first choice being Josko Gvardiol of RB Leipzig.

However, his price tag is prohibitive, which has led them to assess Piquerez.

Croatia international Gvardiol would cost nearly £80 million.

According to Goal France, Spurs are joined by Marseille and a German Bundesliga club in their interest in Piquerez.

The defender has impressed in Brazil with Palmeiras, and has won seven caps with Uruguay.
