Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing Tonny Vilhena, but face competition for his signature.

According to a report from Calciomercato, Tonny Vilhena finds himself on Tottenham’s radar but Mauricio Pochettino faces competition for the midfielder’s signature.

Vilhena has been excellent for Feyenoord this season. The 23-year-old has scored twice and provided a further assist for the Eredivisie side, who have been blown away by PSV Eindhoven and Ajax so far.

Calciomercato reports that Spurs are monitoring the youngster, but will need to beat Roma to his signature with the Serie A side also interested in the Netherlands international.

Vilhena has predominantly played on the left of a midfield three at Feyenoord this season, and went into this term off the back of a campaign where he scored 11 goals in the league.

He would provide further creativity in the middle of the park for Spurs, who may well be thinking about freshening up their options in midfield with a question mark lingering over Mousa Dembele’s future with the club.

The Sun reported in October that Victor Wanyama could also be available, and perhaps Mauricio Pochettino deems that Vilhena could be an option to bolster their ranks in the middle should they lose two of the men that have been key players for Spurs for much of his tenure.
