Tottenham Hotspur could move for Eintracht Frankfurt defender Evan Ndicka in the January transfer window, according to a recent report.
The Lowdown: Ndicka's Premier League interest
CBS reporter Ben Jacobs told GIVEMESPORT in October that Arsenal had done the 'legwork' in their attempt to sign the Frenchman amid interest from a whole host of clubs across Europe.
It was then reported that Tottenham were one of the clubs who had emerged as potential suitors for the 23-year-old, who is available on a pre-contract agreement in January as his contract expires at the end of the season.
It now appears as though Spurs could take that interest one step further...
The Latest: Tottenham eyeing Ndicka move
According to a report from Football London on Sunday, Antonio Conte may look to bolster his options with another left-footed centre-back, given that he currently only has Ben Davies and Clement Lenglet at his disposal in that area.
It is detailed that Tottenham may look towards a move for Ndicka on a free transfer, in which case the Frenchman would not be immediately available.

The Verdict: Get it done?
The centre-back has experience playing in a three-at-the-back system in Frankfurt, with that being the chosen formation in 18 of the club's 23 matches so far this season, so he would be able to seamlessly transition into Conte's preferred way of playing.
Hailed as 'incredible' by journalist Christopher Michel, the 6 foot 3 colossus has been in impressive form over the past year, averaging 4.47 clearances and 1.47 blocks per 90, an increase on the 2.63 and 0.96 per game respectively from Clement Lenglet in the same timeframe.
Tottenham have struggled defensively this season, with these issues coming to the forefront once more in the 2-2 draw against Brentford yesterday as their Premier League goal concession tally grew to 23.
Therefore, it is evident that they need reinforcements at the back, and Ndicka would appear to be the perfect target for Conte.
