Tottenham have made an enquiry for Modena midfielder Stefano Mauri, according to sources in Italy.
The 24-year-old spent last season on loan with Chievo and impressed, making 27 starts in Serie A.
Jacques Santini and Frank Arnesen have been scouring Europe for fresh blood as they look to stamp their influence on White Hart Lane.
The Monza-born schemer has been targeted by Siena and is reportedly close to agreeing a deal with the Tuscany outfit.
However, negotiations between Siena and Modena have broken down, and Spurs appear to have made a late entrance to the fray.
Modena might consider any bid from North London favourably, but it is not known whether Mauri would prefer to remain in his homeland.
