BBC Sport reported in June that a number of clubs including Spurs were monitoring Cody Gakpo's situation at Liverpool.
Man City also reportedly joined the race for the Netherlands winger.
The 27-year-old, who scored in Liverpool's draw with Newcastle on Sunday, is the Reds' starting left winger.
Will Bradley Barcola affect his situation?

A world-class talent, but whether it translates into the Premier League remains to be seen. Very optimistic Liverpool fan this morning. We are still crying out for a competent right-back, much more business needs to be done to compete against a ready-made team like Arsenal.

Liverpool have twice paid more than £100m for players - midfielder Florian Wirtz and striker Alexander Isak - and look set to do so again.
Paris St-Germain and France winger Bradley Barcola has been a main target for Liverpool since the start of the summer, with PSG holding out for somewhere near £145m.
Liverpool, who finished fifth in the Premier League last season, 25 points behind champions Arsenal, could eventually end up paying Bayer Leverkusen £116m for Wirtz, while they shelled out a club record £125m to sign Isak from Newcastle.
And they could be about to break £100m again for 23-year-old Barcola, who was part of France's squad at the World Cup.
He came on as a second-half substitute in both the past two Champions League finals, when PSG beat Inter Milan 5-0 in 2024-25 and then in May when they edged past Arsenal on penalties to retain their title.
Barcola moved to PSG from Lyon in 2023 for a reported £38.5m and has since also won three Ligue 1 titles, the French Cup twice, as well as the Uefa Super Cup and the Fifa Intercontinental Cup.
He is right footed, although he prefers to play on the left wing, but can also play on the right or through the middle.

All this talk about Barcola being perfect… he's not a major upgrade on what we already have, and there are two positions which desperately need MASSIVE upgrades in - full-backs. We will win nothing with Kerkez and Frimpong in those positions

Premier League
That's all from Enzo Maresca. It's been a busy morning. Here are the top stories of the day so far...
Crystal Palace v Manchester City (Fri, 20:00 BST)
Enzo Maresca on opponents Crystal Palace: "Palace away is always complicated.
"They are a good team and a new manager has arrived. You can see from the games in pre-season and their opening Premier League game that it is quite clear what they want to do.
"It's quite similar to the work of the former manager [Oliver Glasner].
"It is going to be a tough game."

As an Evertonian, I like Grealish, but we shouldn’t sign him. Way too injury-prone.

On Marc Guehi playing in midfield against his former club Palace, Enzo Maresca said: "We will see. It is an option.
"The good thing about Marc, is that in this moment, he gives us one more option in the middle.
"Tomorrow we will see. We have a session now and then in a few hours we decide the first XI."

Image source, Getty ImagesJack Grealish's preference would be to return to Everton should he leave Manchester City in the remaining days of the transfer window, sources have told BBC Sport.
The 30-year-old has appeared as a substitute in City's opening two games of the season, but new boss Enzo Maresca is open to letting the Englishman leave the club before Tuesday's transfer deadline.
Grealish spent last season with the Toffees, scoring twice and providing six assists in 20 appearances, before sustaining a season-ending foot injury in January.
Everton chief executive Angus Kinnear recently told BBC Radio Merseyside the club have "remained in contact" with the player.
Grealish's former club Aston Villa are also believed to still be interested in re-signing their ex-captain, but City sources say there have been no concrete offers from any club so far this summer.
Crystal Palace v Manchester City (Fri, 20:00 BST)
On RayanCherki and his role in the team, Enzo Maresca said: "He made an impact the other day. In terms of quality, he is a different player to the rest because he can give us moments when we struggle, particularly in the last third.
"He has the quality that we need, but it depends also on the gameplan and the opponent that we play.
"There's no doubt that he's going to help now and in the future. I am very happy with the way that he's working."
Crystal Palace v Manchester City (Fri, 20:00 BST)
Giving an update on team news, Enzo Maresca said: "Elliott Anderson is fully fit. Last week was just for cramp.
"No new [injuries]. Jeremy [Doku] is still out and Matheus [Nunes] we will see, as he's not 100% still."
Crystal Palace v Manchester City (Fri, 20:00 BST)
More from Enzo Maresca on Bouaddi's characteristics: "He's quite calm and he doesn't look 18. He already looks mature and that's important.
"We need to go slowly because he is very young and he's come from another country, so there's no rush for him.
"For sure, he's going to help us now and in the future."
Crystal Palace v Manchester City (Fri, 20:00 BST)
On whether there's any pressure on Bouaddi because of his £85.6m price tag,Enzo Maresca said: "I think so.
"It's my job - and the club - to try to manage him in the best way, so not to put pressure on him. He's young and he needs time."
Crystal Palace v Manchester City (Fri, 20:00 BST)
On new signing Ayyoub Bouaddi and whether he's ready to play,Enzo Maresca said: "Yeah, he is ready. He was working with his former club, so he is fit.
"We will see how long he needs in terms of adaptation, but he's ready to work."
Image source, Getty ImagesNew Manchester City signing Ayyoub Bouaddi says it is a "dream" to join "the best club in the world".
The 18-year-old Morocco midfielder has moved from Lille in a £85.6m deal and signed a five-year deal with City.
Enzo Maresca's side moved to sign Bouaddi after selling central midfielders Rodri to Barcelona in a £65m deal, Tijjani Reinders to Al-Qadsiah for £52m and agreeing to let Nico Gonzalez join Newcastle in a deal worth up to £52m.
"This is a very special day for me and my family," Bouaddi said on the move.
"Manchester City are, for me, the best club in the world. It's a dream to be here and be able to call myself a City player. I have spent most of my life working hard to become the best player I can be and reach the top of the game.
"I've watched City for many years, and I love their style of play. City always try and play quality football. And they have shown they are winners – this club feels like it's built to win.
"I have plenty of improving to do. I am only 18. This is undoubtedly the best place for me to do that.
"This club demands trophies and I will give everything to make sure we are challenging for every title."

Can we please just free Jack from his City prison. I'm sure Everton or Villa would love him. Surely we can nab £40m for him, or maybe include him in a deal for Ndiaye? I love the guy but he needs moving on.

Enzo Maresca on having a younger squad: "We have experienced players and we have leaders.
"We need to wait until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben Dias and Erling Haaland. They are the two captains.
"It is a young squad."
