Tottenham could sign £57m former Premier League defender on loan in late deal

Wait 5 sec.

Tottenham Hotspur could look to do a loan deal for a player who joined one of the biggest clubs in Europe for £57m just 12 months ago.Spurs’ main focus in the dying stages of the transfer window is to add plenty of firepower to their forward line, which struggled for goals last season.According to various sources, Roberto De Zerbi’s side are looking to land Savinho, Omar Marmoush and Cody Gakpo before the September 1 deadline.However, over the past couple of days, there have been rumours that the Lilywhites could also look to reinforce their backline even further.Photo by Jean Catuffe/Getty ImagesTottenham could pursue loan deal for PSG star Illia ZabarnyiRecently, we relayed a report from TEAMtalk which claimed that Tottenham had expressed an interest in Illia Zabarnyi, who is looking to seal an exit from PSG, just 12 months on from his £57m move to Paris.A new report in Ukrainian outlet Terrikon (as relayed by Sport Witness) has now also suggested that Spurs could make a move for the former Bournemouth star after selling Cristian Romero to Atletico Madrid.The outlet explains that the Lilywhites’ interest in Zabarnyi has not gone further than some initial advances but suggests that the centre-back could join the North London club on loan.The website adds that there is a ‘very real possibility’ that the 23-year-old could exit Parc des Princes before the window slams shut.Spurs are unlikely to sign another centre-backRoberto De Zerbi has no shortage of quality options in central defence following the Lilywhites’ recruitment drive earlier this summer.In Micky van de Ven, Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi and Kevin Danso, he has four strong options for the two roles, while Ben Davies is also ready to fill in if there is an injury crisis.We can thus say with relative certainty that signing a centre-back will not be on Tottenham’s agenda as we approach the final 10 days of the transfer window.READ MORE: How much Tottenham need to pay to sign both Savinho and Omar MarmoushThe post Tottenham could sign £57m former Premier League defender on loan in late deal appeared first on Spurs Web.
