Tottenham is also looking for a new goalkeeper, as they have agreed to let Guglielmo Vicario return to Italy. Antonin Kinsky is not seen as a long-term solution to their goalkeeper problems, despite his positive performance towards the end of the season.
The club's hierarchy is interested in Verbruggen and Van Hecke, and both players are reportedly open to joining Tottenham this summer, even though the club will not be participating in the Champions League.
De Zerbi is also considering signing Carlos Baleba, a player from Brighton, as part of his plans to strengthen the team.
