Spurs 'determined' to land Lille defender
Tottenham are desperate to beat Newcastle United to the signing of Lille defender Sven Botman, according to the Daily Star.
The 22-year-old was heavily linked with a move to St James’ Park in January, though a transfer never materialised.

The move would also fit into Spurs’ transfer policy of signing young, up and coming players for the future.
