Tottenham Hotspur are among a number of Premier League and European clubs interested in signing Brentford right-back Michael Kayode.
The north London side expect a significant post-season squad rebuild, which could still end in a nightmare, as Spurs are just one point above the relegation zone in the Premier League. – Later today, Sunday, they travel to Anfield to face reigning Premier League champions Liverpool.

Assuming they survive, Tottenham will look to reinforce several areas of their underperforming squad, which has managed just seven league wins this season – none under current manager Igor Tudor, whose future has been a hot topic in recent days.
According to Italian publication La Stampa, Kayode has no shortage of suitors across the Premier League before the market reopens in the summer.
Clubs such as Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham are all said to be interested in the Italian international, along with Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund.
Kayode has established himself as a solid Premier League right-back this season, helping Brentford dream of qualifying for European football for the first time in their history.
The ‘outstanding’ 21-year-old has started in all but one of 29 league games for Keith Andrews’ side, who sit seventh in the table with nine games left to play.
Tottenham’s reported interest in Kayode is hardly surprising, given both the 21-year-old’s rapid development this season and the looming uncertainty surrounding right-back Pedro Porro’s future.
The Spain international has been linked with a departure in recent weeks, fuelling further speculation by revealing that he ‘dreams’ of joining Real Madrid or another big European club one day.
Porro has undoubtedly been Tottenham’s best player this season in a miserable campaign for the club, which has gone winless in its last 11 league games.
