Tottenham Hotspur are said to be interested in singing Southampton defender Cedric Soares.
Cedric has apparently impressed Spurs, with the standard of his performances for Saints over the past campaign.
Tottenham could need a new right-back this summer, with Kyle Walker likely to join Manchester City according to the Telegraph.
And Cedric is said to be near the top of Mauricio Pochettino’s wishlist.
Cedric’s feelings about the potential move are not yet known, but the Portuguese defender did speak highly about Tottenham last season.
He said to Southampton’s official website: “Playing Tottenham away is always a very difficult game.
“Everyone knows they have a great team. They are very well-organised and of course it’s going to be tough.”
Southampton are unlikely to be keen on losing Cedric, but they have proven willing sellers in recent times.
The Saints have lost many of their key players in previous transfer windows, and Spurs may feel confident of doing a deal as a result.
If Cedric was to move to Tottenham he would be in competition with Kieran Trippier for a first-team place.
