Tottenham Hotpsur are reportedly preparing to make a move for Palermo defender Matias Silvestre.
It is believed that Harry Redknapp sees the 27-year-old as an ideal replacement for the injury-ravaged Ledley King.
According to talkSPORT, Spurs face competition for the Argentine from Serie A outfit Inter Milan.
Silvestre arrived at the Sicily club from Catania last summer.
