The Lilywhites were one of several clubs interested in bringing him in prior to the 2021/22 campaign.

This was because Spurs bosses feared Harry Kane would be leaving following Manchester City's constant pursuit of the England captain.

Atletico Madrid were also thought to be interest in the 24-year-old Argentine.
