Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on Newcastle’s Jamaal Lascelles.

Tottenham Hotspur have joined the group of teams interested in signing Newcastle United centre-back Jamaal Lascelles, report The Telegraph.

Spurs are considering buying another centre-back as doubts grow over Toby Alderweireld’s future at the club.

The Telegraph report Spurs are considering Lascelles, along with their previously reported interest in Mattijs De Ligt and Jonny Evans.

Newcastle signed Jamaal Lascelles from Championship side Nottingham Forest and he has blossomed under manager Rafa Benitez.

The centre-back is Newcastle’s club captain and fans were stunned to see him left out of the recent England squad.

Tottenham are not the only Premier League team interested in the talented 24-year-old.

The Mirror reported at the weekend Chelsea are showing an interest, while citing his potential price tag at £30 million. The last player Tottenham bought for this price from Newcastle was Moussa Sissoko.

The Sun had claimed late last month that West Ham are also keen to sign Lascelles.

He is currently under contract at Newcastle United until 2023.
