Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing Montpellier HSC midfielder Younes Belhanda.
The 22-year-old, who is widely regarded as one of the best young talents in France, came close to leaving the Ligue 1 outfit in the summer.
A reported move to Turkey broke down over personal terms, but according to the Daily Star, Spurs are prepared to activate the £10m release clause in the player's contract.
The playmaker, who can also operate on either wing, has scored six goals in 17 matches this season.
