Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly one of a number of Premier League clubs showing an interest in Club America defender Sebastian Caceres.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing Club America defender Sebastian Caceres.

Spurs strengthened their backline in the summer with the additions of Micky van de Ven and Ashley Phillips from Wolfsburg and Blackburn Rovers respectively.

Since arriving from the Bundesliga, Van de Ven has gone to form a resolute central defensive partnership alongside Cristian Romero.

Prior to Monday's league meeting with Fulham, Van de Ven had played every minute of Tottenham's opening eight league games.

The Netherlands international also netted his first goal for the club in a narrow 1-0 victory over Luton Town earlier this month.

While Van de Ven has proved to be a shrewd signing, Tottenham are still keen to recruit a new centre-back in the winter.

There is uncertainty surrounding the future of Eric Dier, who has fallen out of favour this season and is out of contract in June.

Dier could potentially leave the club in the January transfer window, which would reduce Postecoglou's defensive options.

According to Football Insider, Tottenham have identified Caceres as a potential target ahead of the winter transfer window.

Spurs are keeping tabs on the 24-year-old, who recently impressed in Uruguay's 2-0 victory over Brazil in South American World Cup qualifying.

The centre-back has played every minute of Uruguay's World Cup qualifying campaign, helping Marcelo Bielsa's side take seven points from four matches.

Caceres plays his domestic football in Mexico for Club America, where he is under contract until December 2024.

Since joining the Mexican side in January 2020, the defender has gone on to make 109 appearances in all competitions.

Spurs are not the only side keeping tabs on the player's progress, with Manchester United, Newcastle United, Fulham and West Ham United believed to be showing an interest.
