Tottenham are in talks with Inter Milan over the sale of Djed Spence.
Inter believe a total package of £30m (€35m) could be enough to get a deal done and Spurs are understood to be willing to sell if they receive an acceptable offer.
Players like Ethan Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly would represent pure profit.
Spence’s opportunities could be limited at Spurs this season with Destiny Udogie and Andy Robertson also competing for the left-back position and the ever-present Pedro Porro the clear first choice on the right.
The clubs are set to hold further talks on Wednesday, according to Sky in Italy.
Spence has been high on their list all summer and Inter are now turning their attention to the Spurs man after struggling to strike a deal for Al Ittihad’s Moussa Diaby.
Inter want to bring in a new player who can operate as a wing-back.
Having only avoided relegation on the final day of last season, Spurs have spent already spent around £237m – with the club’s transfer record broken twice in deals for Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali.
Dutch defender Jan Paul van Hecke also arrived from Brighton for £52m, while Martin Dubravka, Robertson and Marcos Senesi signed on as free agents.
