Tottenham are reportedly increasing their interest in Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, with the north London club exploring the possibility of a late window move as part of a wider push to strengthen their squad.
Spurs’ interest runs alongside their continued pursuit of Andy Robertson and signals a bold move to lure two of Liverpool’s established stars to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Liverpool insider Dave Occup claims Tottenham are preparing an initial £30m bid for Jones before the transfer deadline.

The 24-year-old has long been admired by Spurs’ recruitment team, with new assistant coach John Heitinga, who previously worked under Arne Slott at Feyenoord, said to have particularly high praise for both Jones and Robertson.
However, it is unlikely that Liverpool would accept such an offer. Jones remains a valuable member of the team in the slot, and the Reds will likely command a significantly higher fee just to even consider negotiating, as the midfielder develops into a more complete and tactically mature player.
Manager Jurgen Klopp has previously described Jones as an “exceptional” player.
With injuries and squad depth concerns affecting their campaign, Thomas Frank is determined to strengthen their midfield with a technically secure and attack-oriented profile.
Reds could increase interest in Adam Wharton
A broader subplot is also developed. If Liverpool ultimately sanction the sale of Jones, sources have suggested that, although unlikely, it could accelerate a summer move for Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, who Slot sees as the future centerpiece of his system.
Spurs’ interest in Jones is genuine, but Liverpool’s reluctance means any deal would require a significantly improved offer, and even then, Slot’s position could make negotiations nearly impossible.
Still, Tottenham’s ambition to target two of Liverpool’s most experienced players signals an intention to rebuild the squad with proven Premier League quality.
