Tottenham are scouting FC Zurich's Swiss U21 international Loris Benito.

Benito could be available for around £3million and was recommended to the north Londoners by their former defender Ramon Vega.

The 20-year-old, primarily a left-back but also able to play in midfield, has been linked with Juventus in recent days.

Before joining Zurich in 2012, he came through the ranks at Aarau and featured for their first team for three years.

Brilliantly, he was once fought to a draw by a pitch-invading weasel.

Meanwhile, Jan Vertonghen may have played his last game under Tim Sherwood.

The Spurs defender, who limped out of the 4-0 defeat at Liverpool ten days ago, has an ankle injury.

A recent plunge in form has also coincided with interest from a string Champions League clubs.

Spurs have also announced they made £5million from reaching the quarter-finals of the Europa League last season.

The club’s figures have also shown that their wage bill has risen from £87million to £92million.
