Tottenham have reportedly set their sights on Groningen defender Gibri Sankoh.

The 23-year-old has been a regular for Groningen since signing for the club in January 2005 and is regarded as one of the best defenders in the Dutch League.

Spurs boss Martin Jol is believed to be keen on signing him and has sent scouts to watch him on several occasions, according to reports in the Dutch media.

Sankoh will need to be prised away from Groningen though, as his existing deal with the club does not expire until 2010.

Sankoh was born in Sierra Leone but also holds a Dutch passport.
