According to Eurosport, he's eyeing goalkeeper Lloris and out-of-favour midfielder Alli, who has been the subject of intense transfer speculation since the start of the new season.

The England international, 24, continues to be linked with a move away from London with Everton and Rangers apparently interested in taking him on loan.
