Spurs pulled off a winter coup by signing Radu Dragusin from Genoa ahead of clubs such as Bayern Munich.

However, The Mail states that Dragusin's arrival has not cooled the Branthwaite interest from Spurs' perspective.

They would face a great deal of competition for the Toffee, who is wanted by a host of top teams.

The likes of Real Madrid, Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City are all being linked to Branthwaite.

The stopper is someone Everton are hopeful of keeping, but the club's financial situation means a sale may be inevitable.
