The Chilean international, who has won 20 caps, struggled for first team football under Jose Mourinho last season, playing just six games without completing a full 90 minutes once.
Meanwhile, Galatasaray winger Arda Turan is also interesting Tottenham. The left-sided, right-footed player is already a regular Turkish international at the age of 22.

Spurs manager Harry Redknapp is also believed to be monitoring Atletico Madrid striker Diego Forlan and the Spanish club's captain Maxi Rodriguez.
