A Premier League centre-back, who has been on Tottenham\u2019s radar for a while, is thought to be on the verge of signing a new contract.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even though Cristian Romero now looks likely to stay at Tottenham<\/a>, various centre-backs continue to be linked with a move to N17.<\/p>\n

That includes a pacy French centre-back, who has been on Spurs\u2019<\/a> radar from the start of the calendar year, according to some sources.<\/p>\n

It was previously claimed that Tottenham had an offer of just over \u00a320m turned down for Burnley centre-back Maxime Esteve<\/a> in January.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old was one of the best defenders on show in the Championship last term, and he played a key role in the Clarets\u2019 promotion, which Scott Parker\u2019s men secured mainly thanks to their solid defence.<\/p>\n

Despite Burnley\u2019s promotion, some reports have claimed over recent weeks that Tottenham could try again to raid Turf Moor for Esteve<\/a>, who is thought to be valued by the Clarets at \u00a350m.<\/p>\n

However, Sky Sports journalist Lyall Thomas has now revealed that the newly promoted side have moved to protect their star man\u2019s value amidst the interest that he is generating.<\/p>\n

According to Thomas, Esteve is now on the verge of signing a new long-term deal at Burnley, which could end Tottenham Hotspur\u2019s<\/a> chances of swooping for the former Montpellier man this summer.<\/p>\n

Which other centre-backs are Spurs looking at?<\/p>\n

According to various outlets, Tottenham continue to remain interested in Marc Guehi<\/a>, who Crystal Palace are ready to listen to offers for.<\/p>\n

Some sources have suggested that Spurs are ready to spend big on Bournemouth\u2019s Illia Zabarnyi<\/a>, while it has also been claimed that the Lilywhites have held talks over a deal for Genoa\u2019s Koni De Winter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, The Athletic reporter Jack Pitt-Brooke suggested recently that Thomas Frank may decide to promote Luka Vuskovic instead of signing another centre-back<\/a>.<\/p>\n
