Uruguay international Sebastian Caceres is attracting interest from five Premier League clubs including Manchester United and Tottenham, say reports.
The 24-year-old plays his club football in Mexico for Club America but impressed on the international stage, working under former Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa, in his country’s recent World Cup qualifiers.
Caceres has played every minute of Uruguay’s four games over the last two months and helped his side keep a clean sheet in a 2-0 win over Brazil last week.

His form has led to speculation of a move to England, with Football Insider claiming that Tottenham, Man Utd, Fulham, Newcastle and West Ham are tracking Caceres.
Spurs are said to be considering a January move as they look to improve their depth of options in defence.
