Tottenham and Blackburn Rovers are in contact with representatives of Fiorentina midfielder Mario Alberto Santana.
Both Premiership clubs have been alerted to Fiorentina sports chief Pantaleo Corvino's decision not to open new contract talks with the Argentine, much to the player's frustration.
The 28 year-old has been a long-term target for Tottenham, while Rovers have come in over the past week as manager Sam Allardyce seeks a new left-sided wide player.
