Siena midfielder Rodrigo Taddei has emerged as a potential target for new-look Tottenham.
Spurs' new manager Jacques Santini is likely to draw up a short-list of possible summer signings and has already showed an interest in fellow Frenchmen Sylvain Wiltord and Bixente Lizarazu.
Reports in Italy are claiming the France coach is now looking further afield for new recruits with the talented Brazilian in his sights.
Taddei is under contract to Siena until 2005 and has already caught the attention of Serie A giants Internazionale and Lazio.
Sources suggest Siena will sell for the right price and contact has already been made by Spurs with the player's agents.
There will not only be competition from Italy for the 24-year-old as Turkish outfit Besiktas are also pursuing his signature.
