Spurs are looking to cash in and replace Sergio Reguilon this summer and have their eyes on Kostic to replace the Spaniard. Both Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici are known to be fond of the Eintracht Frankfurt player.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a player that I think Paratici and Conte both like. And obviously, the price is not going to be as high as it would have normally been,\u201d he said as he addressed his YouTube viewers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo that\u2019s one that they\u2019re going to look at, they\u2019re going to try and sign I think. There\u2019s a lot of interest in him, but we\u2019ll see. I think there\u2019s a growing confidence that he might be someone that they can bring in this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tottenham had dispatched scouts to see the 29-year-old perform in the Europa League final, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/1613502\/Tottenham-bid-25m-Filip-Kostic-Frankfurt-Antonio-Conte-Rangers-Spurs-transfer-news\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Daily Express<\/a>.
