Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly weighing up whether to make a fresh approach for Villarreal defender Pau Torres.

Spurs are known to be long-term admirers of a player whose reputation has only heightened during his time in the professional ranks at Estadio de la Ceramica.

Up until now, the 25-year-old has remained committed to the Yellow Submarine, helping the club win last season's Europa League and helping them reach the Champions League quarter-finals with a recent win against Juventus.

However, according to Football Insider, Villarreal and Torres are likely to have an offer on the table from Spurs during the summer window.

The report claims that head coach Antonio Conte rates the Spain international as one of the best centre-backs in the world and would like to add him to his squad.

Villarreal allegedly value Torres in the region of £50m, with the defender still having more than two years remaining on his contract. body check tags ::
