Tottenham have registered their interest with Real Madrid for midfielder Lassana Diarra.
The France international has fallen out with Real coach Manuel Pellegrini and expected to be sold in the summer.
Radio Cadena SER says Spurs have already been in contact about Diarra's availability, but will face competition from French giants Olympique Lyon.
Former Chelsea and Portsmouth star Diarra is understood to favour a return to the Premiership.
