TBR Football understands that Douglas Luiz would love to sign for Tottenham Hotspur, and Fabio Paratici is aware of his desire to return to the Premier League.

As TBR Football exclusively revealed last week, Tottenham held talks with Luiz over a potential transfer, with the Lilywhites also interested in the midfielder.The midfielder is just one of several options the Lilywhites are now considering. A holding midfielder and a number six are the new priorities after securing deals for both Mohammed Kudus and Morgan Gibbs-White.

Juventus have permitted him to find a new club, and his entourage are talking to various teams about a transfer away from Turin.

Luiz, who’s been called ‘outstanding’, has plenty of interest from the Premier League, with a return move to the English top-flight his preferred destination.Douglas Luiz and Joao Palhinha are among the midfield options Tottenham Hotspur are currently assessing, sources have told Graeme Bailey, chief correspondent at TBR Football.

Palhinha was offered to several Premier League clubs, as TBR Football revealed last month, and Spurs are considering him as an option.

The 30-year-old’s move to Bayern Munich hasn’t quite gone to plan, and the German club are open to letting him leave this summer.The Portuguese international has interest from Fulham and West Ham United, meanwhile, Arsenal and Manchester United have previously expressed an interest.Meanwhile, Fabio Paratici is fully aware of Luiz’s situation at Juve and that the player is really keen to sign for a Premier League club.

The player’s people are now pushing for a move to the white half of North London, knowing that the player is very keen on Spurs.

TBR Football has previously reported that Paratici offered Juventus Yves Bissouma, and the Serie A club are open to signing the 29-year-old.TBR Football can also reveal that Tottenham are keeping tabs on Adam Wharton’s situation at Crystal Palace.

Should the 21-year-old become available, Spurs could well look to make a move for the youngster who has been excellent in South London.

Any deal for Wharton would be very tricky as he is so highly rated at Selhurst Park and has a contract there until the summer of 2029.Elsewhere, Monaco’s Lamine Camara, AC Milan target Ardon Jashari and Hugo Larsson from Eintracht Frankfurt are midfielders Spurs scouts have issued glowing reports on in recent months.

Camara is a very versatile midfielder who can operate as a number six, eight and ten, which could appeal to Thomas Frank
