According to Daily Mail, Tottenham are already exploring alternatives and have shown interest in Cabral.

He wants to remain prepared for any potential scenario and his contingency planning includes exploring potential replacements for key positions, especially a forward, given the uncertainties surrounding player transfers and injuries.
