Tottenham could reignite their interest in a Premier League midfielder, who they tried to sign during the January window.
Reports indicate that Spurs are ready to invest substantially into rebuilding their squad this summer if they avoid relegation from the Premier League.
According to some sources, Tottenham have started scouring the market for a new midfielder amid fears that they may not be able to land Joao Palhinha on a permanent deal.
It has now emerged that the Lilywhites could try again to secure a 25-year-old after falling short in their efforts to clinch a deal for the player in January.
Tottenahm could reignite its interest in Curtis Jones
Tottenham reportedly weighed up a move for Curtis Jones during the winter, but Liverpool decided to hang onto their academy graduate.
Over recent months, it has been claimed that Jones is keen on leaving Anfield this summer in search of regular game time.
The Times have now confirmed that Spurs did express an interest in Jones before they secured Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid.

The outlet says that the Lilywhites are set to try again to land the Liverpool star if they avoid relegation from the Premier League this season.
It is revealed that the £35m that Spurs paid for Gallagher will act as ‘a benchmark’ for the Reds’ asking price, with the Merseyside club viewing Jones as a superior English talent to the former Atletico Madrid man.
Tottenham have already reached a verbal agreement with Andy Robertson ahead of the summer, if they remain in the Premier League.
Inter Milan could challenge Spurs in Jones pursuit
The Times add that Inter also tested the waters for Jones in January and are considering resurrecting its pursuit of the England international.
However, it is explained that Liverpool’s £35m asking price could prove prohibitive for the Nerazzurri, who initially explored signing the player on a loan deal with an option to buy.
