Free defender on our transfer list

Tottenham are seeking a replacement for Federico Fazio who will be offloaded this summer. He couldn't get to grip with our system and simply made too many mistakes. anyone can make a mistake, it's how you react to them and he seemed to react by making some more.

He has played 3 La Liga games, a total of 205 minutes so hasn't set the world alight back in Spain. The Spanish believe in playing out from the back so it's a country I have felt we should focus more on and we seem to have done that with the employment of scouts for the area.

The Colombian press are suggesting we are interested in Sporting Gijon central defender Bernardo Espinosa. Bernardo, as he is known, is a 26-year-old (27 in July) currently suffering from a knee ligament injury.
The Colombian is out of contract in the summer and Sporting Gijonwant to offer him 4 million EUR for the next 4 seasons. His age is against him, the fact that is free is for him. He has a Spanish passport so there are no problems signing him. Bernardo is right-footed and would provide cover for Toby Alderweireld, who has been a rock for us this season.

he will be of many that we are looking at, but a name most of us won't know.
