And Doucoure, who has flourished since joining from Rennes in 2016, certainly ticks this box.

Liverpool are looking for a potential replacement for Emre Can, who will be out of contract at the end of the season.

And Spurs are understood be viewing Doucoure as a long-term successor for Mousa Dembele, who is out of contract in the summer of 2019.
