The Romanian stopper has been unable to break into the Tottenham side on a regular basis and is now set to move on in the new year as five clubs across Europe all line up for his signature.
Premier League arch rivals Arsenal are reportedly keeping tabs on Chiriches, along with Roma, Inter, Napoli in Serie A and Bundesliga outfit Schalke.
It is believed that Arsene Wenger is eager to solve his defensive crisis and will target a move for the 25-year-old on loan until the end of the season.
