Tottenham Hotspur have joined Everton in eyeing a move for Hull City defender Jacob Greaves, according to a newspaper report from the Daily Mirror (10/3 paper edition, page 61).
Spurs have moved for a number of Championship players in recent years, with James Maddison joining from Leicester City in the summer.
Other signings haven’t proved to be as successful, with Joe Rodon brought in from Swansea City but failing to make much of an impact during his time in the English capital.
Jack Clarke also came in from Leeds United, but he didn’t do well at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and has since moved on to Sunderland, where he is getting the opportunity to start every matchday when fit.
Greaves could be the North London outfit’s latest signing from the second tier, with the 23-year-old shining under Liam Rosenior this season.
He has also done well before the 2023/24 campaign, which allowed him to attract interest from Middlesbrough.
However, the defender remained loyal to the Tigers and currently has a contract at the MKM Stadium until the summer of 2026.
That will put Rosenior’s side in a very good negotiating position if they receive bids for the central defender in the summer, with the Tigers also having the option to extend Greaves’ deal by a further year if they wish to.Tottenham’s interest in Jacob Greaves

The same outlet has also revealed that the North London club are just one of a number of Premier League clubs to have taken an interest in the defender
