Tottenham Hotspur are showing interest in a young Argentine defender who will cost around £20.8m in the January transfer window.Back in January of this year, Spurs raided Brazilian football for a talented young full-back, securing the services of Souza from Santos.The left-back started only twice for Tottenham last season before being loaned out to Porto in the summer, and game time has been hard to come by for the 20-year-old at the Portuguese club too.It emerged a couple of days ago that Spurs could look to raid the Brazilian top flight for another full-back in the upcoming transfer window, this time for a right-back.Photo by Riquelve Nata/Sports Press Photo/Getty ImagesTottenham told how much they have to pay for Agustin GiayThe player in question is Palmeiras defender Agustin Giay, whose fine form in the Brasileirao Serie A has even seen him break into the Argentine national team.A new report in Diário Palmeirense (as relayed by Sport Witness) has now backed up Spurs’ interest in Giay, suggesting that a move to Europe could be in the offing for the 22-year-old in January.The report points out that the defender has seen his stock rise rapidly over recent months after starting three consecutive matches for the World Cup runners-up during the November international break.Spurs could thus face competition from Atletico Madrid, AC Milan and Napoli for Giay, while Chelsea are also thought to be admirers of the player.The report adds that Palmeiras are expected to demand €25m (£20.8m) for their prized asset in January.A right-back not likely to be a priority for Spurs in JanuaryEven though Tottenham did not replace Djed Spence after selling him to Inter Milan in the summer, a new right-back is not likely to be at the top of De Zerbi’s wishlist for January.Archie Gray has grown into the role with more minutes and has demonstrated that he is a capable backup for Pedro Porro.Tottenham could thus revisit the right-back situation next summer, but the only possible concern for Spurs fans may be the fact that Porro continues to be linked heavily with a move to Barcelona.The Lilywhites may also be forced to move for Giay in January if they fear being beaten to his signature by other clubs.READ MORE: Tottenham eye Barcelona’s £33m Alejandro Balde to solve Destiny Udogie problemThe post Tottenham look to repeat Souza trick by signing £20.8m Palmeiras right-back appeared first on Spurs Web.
