Tottenham have offered Aston Villa £15m for their highly-rated midfielder Jack Grealish, Sky Sports News understands.
Sky Sports News reported over the weekend that Spurs were considering a move for Grealish, who was not among their original list of transfer targets this summer.
Chelsea, Fulham and Leicester are also understood to be keen on the 22-year-old, who has emerged as a target for a number of top clubs due to Aston Villa's current financial problems.
Tottenham have been one of a number of top clubs who have scouted the England U21 international during an impressive season in the EFL Championship, where Villa reached the play-off final but lost to Fulham.

Villa value their prize asset at closer to double that figure - and they could be more interested in a bid from Chelsea, especially as it is likely to see Grealish loaned back to the club for next season.
However, despite their precarious financial state, senior sources at Villa believe they may not be forced to sell their star academy graduate after all.
At Monday's crucial board meeting, acting deputy chief executive Luke Organ painted a more optimistic picture of the club's finances and, while not ruling it out, suggested they may not be forced to sell the youngster.
Grealish remaining at Villa Park appears unlikely, though, with the player entering the last two years of his contract and Villa failing to get him to sign an extension midway through last season.
Anthony Martial endured a frustrating season at Old Trafford
Anthony Martial has decided he wants to leave Manchester United, according to his agent.
Philippe Lamboley, director of USFA management, has told French media that United do not want to lose the France international but have not found an agreement with him over a new contract.
Tottenham have a long-standing interest in Martial, Sky Sports News understands, but Lamboley insists United will have the final say on whether he stays or goes this summer.

"After thinking about all the possibilities and scenarios, Anthony wants to leave Manchester United," Lamboley told RMC Sport. "There are many scenarios. For now, it's premature to talk about it. Anthony will speak later to explain all of this.
"Manchester United want to extend Anthony's contract and do not want him to leave, but we have not been able to find an agreement for several months.
Martial has been linked with a move to Tottenham
"I think that when Manchester United, which is the most powerful club in the world it must be remembered, do not find an agreement in eight months of negotiations, it is because they do not really want to make him an important member of the team. That's the root of this decision. It is a well-considered decision.
"However, it is quite obvious and it is very important to remember that he is under contract, that Manchester United will have the last word and that we will respect the decision of the club, and he will fulfil his commitment to them.
"However, we do not share the same vision for Anthony's future. Today, Anthony is disappointed because he has shown for three seasons the love he has for the club and its supporters."
United boss Jose Mourinho put Martial among a number of players under criticism for a performance last season, but later praised the former Monaco forward stating it was "like having a new player".
But Martial, whom Tottenham tried to sign before he joined United for £36million in 2015, finished the season with just 18 Premier League starts and nine league goals.
