Tottenham's rebuild this summer to put together the sort of team that Antonio Conte wants to be able to challenge for top honours is expected to begin with a strengthening of their defence.
Spurs have already been linked with a move for Inter Milan’s Dutch centre back Stefan De Vrijs, and he remains high on their radar.
But Conte is also keen on Villareal star Pau Torres, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano on Twitter - and it is a fact that he has been on the North London’s club’s radar for some time.
