According to the Mirror, Spurs are in competition with a number of clubs including Sheffield United to sign the 19-year-old.
Joseph has made a huge impact for Wigan since making his debut for the club in October.
The teenage striker has scored four goals in nine starts for the League One club during an impressive start to his career.
Joseph netted his first goal in the win at Sunderland last month and scored his first hat-trick in the 4-3 victory at Burton recently.
The Scotland Under-19 international’s contract expires this summer and Wigan have offered him a new deal.
If Joseph decides to move, the Latics will be entitled to compensation for the striker.
