Spurs could swoop for the Albania international according to The Express, with Juan Foyth having sustained an ankle injury against Bayern Munich in the Audi Cup.

Ivorian international Aurier has just had hand surgery, and is facing a race against time to be fit for the Aston Villa game next weekend.

Hysaj is apparently rated at £20 million, which is a fairly low price tag given his status as a mainstay in Napoli’s starting XI.

The 25-year-old has been a regular since his transfer from Empoli four years ago, and has been a valued member of their squad.
