Tottenham manager Roberto de Zerbi says he wants to convince England defender Djed Spence to stay at the club amid uncertainty over his future.
The 25-year-old, who signed a long-term deal with the club last year, has been linked with a move to Inter Milan and Everton.
De Zerbi says he sees Spence as an important part of his plans despite increased competition in his role after a summer of significant spending.
Spurs have spent a club record £237m so far this summer as they rebuild their squad after narrowly avoiding relegation on the final day of last season's Premier League.
"I repeat what I said to Djed, and to Lucas [Bergvall]," De Zerbi said, referencing comments he made about the in-demand Sweden midfielder a day earlier.
