TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR are planning a transfer bid for a Chelsea star to replace Ivan Perisic.
The Croatian winger is set to leave the club this month and return to boyhood club Hajduk Split.
Perisic is reportedly ready to rip up his Spurs contract a year early to complete the free transfer.
As a result, Ange Postecoglou is now looking for a replacement as he continues his Tottenham rebuild.
According to FootballTransfers, Spurs are monitoring Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella as a potential replacement.
Chelsea are keen to sell the Spaniard this summer, although their asking price is not known.

The report adds that Postecoglou wants to sign Cucurella and play him as an inverted full-back in his Spurs system.
Cucurella only joined Chelsea last year and still has five years remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge.
However, he endured a difficult campaign in West London, registering two assists in 33 appearances.
His future at the club has been in doubt since the end of last season, with Newcastle United previously linked with the 24-year-old.
