JOSE MOURINHO wants to scoop up Layvin Kurzawa on a free transfer next summer, according to reports.
Tottenham have Ben Davies and Danny Rose as options at left-back but the position has been a problem area in recent months.

And Foot Mercato claim that Mourinho is eyeing Paris Saint-Germain defender Kurzawa, who is out of contract in June.
Their report adds West Ham, Manchester United and Spurs have already started talks with the player’s agent.
Kurzawa is free to speak to foreign clubs and sign a pre-contract deal from January 1.
The 12-cap France international is competing against Juan Bernat for a full-back berth in the French champions’ star-studded line-up.
And at 27, the ace may fancy a move to another country with the opportunity to force his way back into the france reckoning.
Tottenham are expected to make Giovani Lo Celso’s loan from Real Betis permanent in January.
The Argentine midfielder, 23, has struggled with injury since his deadline day move from Spain, making just three starts for the North London side.
But Betis president Angel Haro expects Spurs to activate their £27million option to buy in next month’s transfer window to avoid an obligation to pay around £34million for him in the summer.
Haro said: “Yes they will exercise the option because they are not taxed as much as if they have to exercise it in June, when the purchase becomes mandatory.
“We understand that they will exercise it, but if not we will be delighted with the player returning.”
