According to El Desmarque, Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly during the January transfer window.
Both Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen, as it stands, will be out of contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next June.
As a result, Spurs are likely to be forced into the market for a new central defender, and according to El Desmarque, Koulibaly is very much someone in Jose Mourinho’s sights.

As expected, the transfer claim has sparked the attention of a number of Spurs fans, but it would be fair to say that there are differing views on the topic.
As shown above, there are a number of Tottenham fans who do not believe that their club will be able to pull off a deal for the Senegal international. However, many others have started to get just a little bit excited over his potential arrival.
One supporter even put together a future back four with Koulibaly included, although the individual also put Alderweireld in central defence, and it remains to be seen whether the Belgium international extends his stay at the club following Mourinho’s arrival.
It would certainly be some turn-up if Spurs managed to sign the 28-year-old, who has made over 200 appearances for Napoli since arriving from Genk in the summer of 2014.
Meanwhile, the club’s fans have recently commented on suggestions that a two-time Premier League title winner could arrive in the January transfer window.
