However, since returning to fitness, the centre-back has been in sensational form for Birmingham’s Under-21s in the Professional Development League this season, having been given the captain’s armband for the side.
It was Football Insider who reported last week that Manchester United had shown an interest in snapping up the 19-year-old in the summer.
The report added that the defender would ‘jump at the chance’ to move to Old Trafford if Erik Ten Hag’s side can present him with a clear plan for his development.
The same publication has now asserted that the Red Devils could face competition from Spurs for Browne’s services.
According to their latest update, Tottenham, who had failed with an offer for the Birmingham starlet a couple of years ago, are now set to return with a new bid for the centre-back.
