Real Madrid defender Eder Militao 'on six-man Tottenham Hotspur shortlist'

Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho is reportedly contemplating a bid for Real Madrid defender Eder Militao.

With Spurs having struggled at the back this season, manager Jose Mourinho is eager to make alterations in that area of the pitch during the next transfer window.

According to Sky Sports News, Spurs may make an approach for Militao, who has struggled to establish himself at the Bernabeu.

Since joining from Porto last summer, the Brazil international has made just 10 starts and two substitute appearances in all competitions.

At a time when Los Blancos are prepared to consider any offers for a number of their squad members, it appears that Spurs will look to tempt the Spanish giants into a sale.

The 22-year-old can feature at right-back and in the middle of the defence.
