Tottenham Hotspur are the latest Premier League side to be linked with a move for Hull City defender Harry Maguire, after Everton and Southampton.

The Daily Star reports Mauricio Pochettino, the Tottenham head coach, is keen on the 23-year-old after injuries to Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld this season, while doubts are said to remain over the future of Kevin Wimmer.

Wimmer has barely featured in 2016-17, with Eric Dier, who spent much of the previous campaign impressing in central midfield, preferred to the Austrian at centre-back.

Meanwhile, Maguire, who progressed through the ranks at Sheffield United, following in the footsteps of Spurs and England right-back Kyle Walker, has impressed in a struggling Hull side, but recently entered the final 18 months of his contract.

The Sun reported last month the Yorkshireman is set to snub the Tigers’ offer of a new deal, and a summer move could be on the cards regardless of what division Marco Silva’s team are in.

It is claimed Tottenham’s interest could spark a bidding war involving top-flight rivals Everton and Southampton, with a fee of £15 million potentially required.

Which would be Maguire’s best move – Tottenham Hotspur, Everton, Southampton?
