Pau Torres was a player tipped to make the move to Tottenham last summer, but the defender turned down the transfer. However, Spurs' interest in the 25-year-old has been sparked again ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
football.london understands that Torres is one of the centre-backs on Antonio Conte's wishlist, being a left-footed player who would provide the Italian with more defensive options. Alessandro Bastoni is another left-footed centre-back who had been heavily linked with a move to Spurs, although securing a deal for the defender now seems very unlikely, with his agent confirming on Wednesday that he will remain at Inter Milan.
Last season, Torres made 33 La Liga appearances for Villarreal, scoring five goals and registering an assist. The defender also featured 12 times in the Champions League, which his side got to the semi-finals of and was likely to be one reason he opted to remain in his home country last season.
