Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has already been in contact with Real Madrid about the possibility of a summer deal for Eder Militao. The defender has struggled for game time this season, despite only arriving from Porto last summer, in a mega money move.

Spurs have been looking to sign a new centre-back this summer, with Belgian Jan Vertonghen seemingly nearing the end of his stay in north London.

Vertonghen's contract is set to expire at the end of the season, although he may still decide to pen a new deal.

But, Mourinho has started to look for a replacement, in case the 31-year-old does leave Tottenham this summer.

He's targeted a move for Brazilian centre-back Militao, as Mourinho believes there's a place in his side for the youngster, according to ElDesMarque.
