Tottenham are reportedly close to signing Swansea and Liverpool target Gylfi Sigurdsson.
Sigurdsson spent the latter half of last season on loan with the Swans from Bundesliga side Hoffenheim and appeared set to complete a permanent deal this summer.
But the situation was complicated when Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers took over at Anfield last month, sparking interest from the Reds.
However, Spurs could now snatch the youngster from under the noses of their Premier League rivals.
German newspaper Bild claims the managerless North Londoners have lined up an £8million deal for the 22-year-old Iceland international.
The former Reading midfielder scored seven goals in 19 games for Swansea last term and was named the Premier League player of the month for March.
