Tottenham and Liverpool have been linked with a surprise move for Fenerbahce left back Andre Santos.
Reds manager Kenny Dalglish has long been thought to be searching for a left sided defender, as he was forced to play Glen Johnson there for much of last season, with Marcell Jansen the latest name to be thrown into the mix.
His Spurs counterpart Harry Redknapp has a different concern.
He has a left back in Benoit Assou-Ekotto, but while he combines well with Gareth Bale on the wing, he can be suspect defensively, and gets caught out of position.
Redknapp also wants to prove to wantaway midfielder Luka Modric that Tottenham retain the ambition which led them to competing in the UEFA Champions League, and has promised some strong signings.
"Luka wants to know that we'll be right up there challenging next season and we are working hard to bring in a couple of big signings that may convince him to stick with us. I hope so," said the Spurs boss.
Andre Santos has proven his mettle playing for the Brazil international team during the Copa America, and has been linked with a Barcelona transfer over the course of the summer.
Whichever team he joins, he would certainly strengthen.
