ESPN understands that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has led a delegation to the Ukraine in a bid to sign Shakhtar Donetsk attacking midfielder Willian.
Spurs initially had an £11.5 million bid rejected for the Brazilian but are back with an improved offer for a player that manager Andre Villa-Boas sees as the ideal replacement for Real Madrid bound Luka Modric.
A Spurs source told ESPN: "Yes, I can confirm that the club's chairman has been in the Ukraine with a view to trying to buy Willian."
Villas-Boas tried to sign the 24-year-old when he arrived at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea manager, although his midfield priority for Spurs has been Joao Moutinho of Porto for whom the Portuguese club refuse to accept less than £25 million.
"He is a player that I was interested in last year - an extremely talented player," Villas-Boas said of Willian last week. "I wouldn't want to go very deep because I feel it would be disrespectful for Shakhtar, which is a club I have a good relationship with, so the only thing I can tell you is that last year when I was at Chelsea I was interested in the player."
