Tottenham are reportedly interested in re-signing former youth star Dennis Cirkin from newly-promoted Sunderland.
The Ireland-born defender moved to London aged three and became part of the Spurs academy, although he didn't make any senior appearances.
Cirkin left in 2021 to sign for Sunderland when they were in League One and has since featured 116 times for them in all competitions.
He was also part of their promotion-winning side last season as the Black Cats beat Sheffield United in the Championship play-off final.
Now Spurs could be set to bring him back to north London, as The Northern Echo have reported their interest in negotiating a deal.
Sunderland will work on agreeing a new contract with Cirkin as his current terms expire at the end of June 2026.
The left-back's deal from Spurs to Sunderland in 2021 is said to have included a buy-back clause for the former.
As per the Sunderland Echo, the fee stood at £6million but the clause expired on June 30 in 2024.
Destiny Udogie and Djed Spence were the regular left-back selections for Spurs during the 2024/25 campaign.
Ben Davies also played in the position, although he typically operates more as a centre-back.
Spurs recently announced that Sergio Reguilon will leave at the end of his contract after a five-year spell.
Thomas Frank has become the new head coach and has already overseen a summer signing in Mathys Tel.
The Frenchman first joined Spurs on loan from Bayern Munich in January but his move has been made permanent for around £30m.
Kevin Danso was also a loanee, but he too has completed a full move due to a reported £21m obligation to buy clause.
Luka Vuskovic is another arrival in a £12m move from Croatian club Hajduk Split, with the deal being agreed in September 2023.
However, talkSPORT understands club captain and legend Heung-min Son will discuss his Spurs future during pre-season.
Although an option to extend his contract to 2026 was triggered, his future at the club remains unclear.
Saudi Arabian sides Al Ahli, Al Nassr and Al Qadsiah have expressed an interest and are prepared to pay €40m [£34m] for the South Korean.
