ASTON VILLA, Spurs and Newcastle are targeting Ghanaian defender Abdul Mumin at Portuguese side Vitoria.
Centre-back Mumin, 22, who joined from Danish side Nordsjaelland last year, would cost about £15million.
All three Premier League clubs have shown an interest as they need a central defender.
He is quick, dominant in the air and has impressed technically for the Guimaraes-based club in northern Portugal.
Celtic have previously shown an interest.
If Villa beat off their rivals’ interest, he could be replacing another defender in the squad.
SunSport exclusively revealed that Neil Taylor is wanted by Championship duo Stoke and QPR as well as two Turkish clubs.
The left-back, 32, is out of contract with Dean Smith’s side this summer.
Both Stoke and QPR have expressed their interest in the Wales 43-cap defender.
But the EFL clubs face competition from Istanbul Basaksehir and Trabzonspor in Turkey for his services on a free transfer.

Taylor has made just one Premier League appearance for Villa this season, a 15-minute substitute appearance in the 2-0 away defeat to Manchester City in January.
He has been at Villa since 2017 following a move from Swansea where he made his name.
Taylor played for Great Britain in the London 2012 Olympic Games and was a big part of Wales’ Euro 2016 run to the semi-finals under Chris Coleman.
