Tottenham Hotspur ‘have sent’ an offer for one Burnley’s key defenders, but the Championship promotion contenders are asking for a sum significantly higher.

The Premier League club are making some last-ditch efforts at strengthening their existing unit and multiple options are being explored.

While a move for Chelsea defender Axel Disasi has been resurrected, chairman Daniel Levy is not putting all Spurs’ eggs in one basket.

They have knocked at the door of Burnley to table an official bid for their 22-year-old defender Maxime Esteve.

The offer is believed to be in the region of £20m, according to French sports daily L’Equipe.

However, Burnley are not satisfied with Tottenham’s initial bid and have told the Premier League side they want £30m.

With the season in full flow, the Clarets would prefer not to lose one of their key starters this late.

However, with Burnley having given an asking price, the ball is in Spurs’ court to get the deal done.
