Tottenham Hotspur are believed to be considering replacing Kyle Walker with Ricardo Pereira.

According to London Football News, Porto are prepared to negotiate with Tottenham Hotspur over a deal for Ricardo Pereira.

Pereira currently has a £22 million buy-out clause written into his contract with the Portuguese boss.

However, Porto are said to be willing to take a lower offer – should Tottenham enter discussions over a transfer for the rapid right-back.

Tottenham have identified Pereira as one of their leading targets to replace Kyle Walker, who is expected to leave the North London club this summer.

Walker looks set to join Manchester City, with Pep Guardiola keen to snap up the England international (Telegraph).

If Walker is to leave Spurs it will be a blow for Mauricio Pochettino, but the Lilywhites are already working on a contingency plan.

Pereira, who impressed on loan at Nice over the past campaign, is on Spurs’ wishlist – and a deal could be struck at a cut price.

London Football News also suggest that Spurs are interested in Joel Veltman, Benjamin Henrichs and Jeremy Toljan – with Pochettino keen to utilise the European market this summer.
