Rodrygo Goes could still be on the move from Real Madrid this summer amid renewed a Premier League transfer link.
The Brazil international has been consistently linked with a departure from the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu amid concerns over his place in Xabi Alonso's plans.
A reduced role at the FIFA Club World Cup last month only heightened speculation over the former Santos forward with Liverpool and Arsenal open to offers for the 24-year-old.
However, with Los Blancos eyeing a potential £70m transfer fee, the clubs moved on with Hugo Ekitike heading to Anfield and Viktor Gyokeres landing at the Emirates Stadium.
Rodrygo's current contract runs until 2028, but he wants assurances over his place Madrid, before agreeing to stay in the Spanish capital.
Ahead of the World Cup with Brazil next summer, Rodrygo needs to be playing a key role at club level, and Tottenham could now trigger a bold push to bring him to North London.

Tottenham plan Rodrygo offer to replace Son as Spurs talisman
Tottenham captain Son Heung-min has confirmed he will leave the club after 10 seasons in the coming weeks as he closes in on a switch to MLS side Los Angeles FC.
A fresh challenge for the South Korean is the end of an area for Spurs as Thomas Frank builds for the future.
The Danish coach has already triggered purchase clauses on former loan duo Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel, alongside a £55m swoop for Mohammed Kudus, and a season-long loan for Bayern Munich's Joao Palhinha.
Rodrygo's earns 10% more than Son's £10m annual salary, so a slight wage cut may be a sticking point in the negotiations, but reports from Diario AS claim Spurs are confident.
Son's exit frees up a slot on the left of Tottenham's attack - Rodrygo's preferred position - and one he has no chance of in Madrid due to Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe's ongoing battle.
