​Tottenham are attempting to sweeten a reported £30m deal for Swansea's Alfie Mawson by offering Josh Onomah to the club on loan for next season.





Spurs are eyeing up a move for the Swans centre-back after they missed out on other defensive targets such as Michael Keane, but have baulked at Mawson's asking price thus far.





However, the ​Daily Telegraph has now alleged that Mauricio Pochettino would sanction a temporary switch to South Wales for Onomah in a bid to lure Swansea into parting with one of their key personnel.

Question marks remain as to whether Swansea boss Paul Clement would be open to such a deal, but with Mawson one of his side's better performers last term it will likely take more than that for the Liberty Stadium team to be tempted into selling.





Tottenham are on the lookout for centre-half reinforcements to feature behind key pair Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen.





The 2016/17 Premier League runners-up are looking to part with Austria international Kevin Wimmer this summer, and want to replace him with Mawson to provide stronger competition to their Belgian pairing at the back.

Mawson has seen his stock rise considerably since his 2016 summer switch from Barnsley, and revelled at the back for Swansea as he helped Clement's charges stave off relegation to the Championship late last season.





The 23-year-old weighed in with vital goals against Leicester, Southampton and Crystal Palace following Clement's appointment in January, and managed to rack up 36 appearances in all competitions for the club during his maiden season with them.





His level of performance have piqued the interest of Spurs boss Pochettino, but the Argentine is reluctant to overspend on a backup centre back when he needs to spend his transfer kitty on strengthening other areas of his senior squad.

Onomah would give Swansea some extra attacking impetus with his vision and deftness of touch, and a season-long loan spell at a fellow Premier League club would do wonders for his development.





Chances of turning out for Spurs' first-team are at a premium given how strong they are in that attacking midfield part of the pitch, but Swansea would arguably demand a greater fee for Mawson or Onomah as part of a player-plus-cash exchange if they were to part with their star asset.
