Tottenham have enquired about signing Youri Tielemans on loan from Monaco.
Spurs are considering rivalling Leicester to sign the 21 year-old Belgian midfielder.
Foxes boss Claude Puel is ready to pay £20m to sign Tielemans during this window.
The north Londoners view Tielemans as a potential, initial loan signing with a view to a permanent move in the summer.
Though there are doubts about whether Spurs will be able to offer him enough first team football between now and the end of the campaign.
Mousa Dembele’s departure for Guangzhou R&F this month has opened up a possible vacancy in Spurs’ midfield ranks.
Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko have become Pochettino's first-choice pairing in central midfield in recent months.
Victor Wanyama returned in the FA Cup defeat to Crystal Palace while youngster Oliver Skipp is another option.
Pochettino's side are back in Premier League action against Watford at Wembley on Wednesday.
