Spurs have reportedly been in contact with Jesse Lingard's camp regarding a move for the England international.
Lingard has fallen out of favour at Manchester United following a productive loan spell at West Ham United.
The 29-year-old hasn't started a single Premier League game for the Red Devils this term, with all eight of his appearances coming from the bench.
And according to football.london, Spurs are interested in a move for Lingard, who is out of contract in the summer and therefore available for a free transfer.
The North London club could even look to draft him in this month but a January move may be more difficult and less appealing to Lingard's camp.
West Ham remain keen on the midfielder a year after snapping him up on loan and seeing Lingard excel at the London Stadium.
In 16 Premier League appearances, Lingard scored nine times and assisted a further four as the Hammers finished sixth under David Moyes in the 2020/21 campaign.
Having experienced a difficult period, Lingard rediscovered his best form and returned to the England squad in March when called up again by Gareth Southgate.
After being a stand-by player for the Euro 2020 squad, Lingard struck twice for the Three Lions in the 4-0 World Cup qualifying win over Andorra in September.
He had been promised more minutes by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after the West Ham stint but found himself among the substitutes on a regular basis once again.
Lingard has reportedly rejected a new contract offer from his boyhood club and has also been linked with Newcastle United.
His latest cameo appearance came in the unconvincing 1-0 win over Aston Villa on Monday night and Lingard made his mark by rinsing two players in one swift sequence as he shielded the ball in stoppage time.
