Tottenham have begun talks with Liverpool in an effort to sign left-back Andy Robertson.
Robertson, 31, is out of contract at Anfield in the summer and said last week that he was undecided on his future.
The Scotland international has started just four times in the Premier League this season and wants regular involvement before the World Cup.
BBC Sport understands Spurs have made an approach but no outcome has been reached at this stage.
Liverpool signed Robertson from Hull City for £8m in 2017 during Jurgen Klopp’s reign and he has made 363 appearances for the Reds.
Robertson’s most recent appearance came from the bench in the 1-1 draw against Burnley on 17 January.
Before that game, Liverpool head coach Arne Slot said Robertson had been “important” to the club and praised him for the way he has handled losing his starting position to summer signing Milos Kerkez.
Hungary international Kerkez would be the only senior left-back for Slot to call on if Robertson is sold, but Liverpool could look to recall Kostas Tsimikas from his loan spell at Roma.
Tottenham completed the signing of Brazilian left-back Souza on Thursday and are already well stocked in that area of the field.
Destiny Udogie has been the preferred choice of manager Thomas Frank this season, with Djed Spence also offering cover.
Ben Davies was another option, but the Wales international sustained a broken ankle on Sunday and has been ruled out for the rest of the season.
Spurs’ move for Robertson could be a bid to add experience to a young squad, with 32-year-old Davies the only player over the age of 30.
Robertson has won nine trophies during his time at Liverpool, including two Premier League titles and the Champions League.
