TOTTENHAM are planning a £65million double swoop for Ryan Bertrand and Alfie Mawson, according to reports.
The Daily Express say Swansea centre-back Mawson and Southampton left-back Bertrand are top of Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino’s list as he looks to freshen up his squad this summer.
Poch is expected to lose several players at the end of the campaign and will need to replace them and make further additions to help challenge on all fronts next season.
Full-back Danny Rose and centre-back Toby Alderweireld are wanted by Manchester United.
The Belgian defender has demanded a huge pay rise to pen a new deal at White Hart Lane and the club are expected to sell him with Chelsea and Arsenal also monitoring his situation.
Mawson, 24, has impressed at the Liberty Stadium despite the Swans battling relegation all season.

Bertrand is almost certain to depart from St Mary’s if Southampton drop into the Championship next season.

The 28-year-old is being monitored by United, Newcastle and Wolves.
Saints would want about £25m for Bertrand, who signed a new five-year £80,000 a week deal at St Mary’s in 2016.
