Spurs are keen to bring in the 30-year-old on a loan deal with the option of a £10million transfer in the summer, according to The People.
Italian giants Inter Milan and Juventus are also keen on signing the striker, with Sevilla only ready to let the Brazilian star leave on a permanent deal this month.
Spurs could be forced to sell either Robbie Keane or Roman Pavlyuchenko to fund a deal for the Brazilian star.
Luis Fabiano signed a new three-year with Sevilla in August.
