Tottenham Hotspur have sprung into action in the transfer window over the past few days.
Indeed, after a month of sitting on their hands, Tottenham have got to work in the transfer window, and there could be a flurry of activity late in the day.
Kevin Danso joined Tottenham over the weekend, while Mathys Tel is set to sign for Spurs too.
Tottenham still want another defender, and they have been putting some feelers out over the past few hours.
Spurs bid for Marc Guehi, but that deal appears to be very difficult to do, and now, Tottenham are looking at another option from within the Premier League.
Indeed, while Spurs tried to sign a former Chelsea player in the shape of Guehi, they’re now looking at bringing in a current Chelsea man.
Tottenham resurrect Axel Disasi interest
According to Matt Law, Tottenham have resurrected their interest in Chelsea’s Axel Disasi late in the transfer window.
There are just hours left to run in this window, and Spurs are trying to bring Disasi to north London.
This would be a staggering turn of events so late in the window if the £39m man heads to Spurs.
Disasi looked set for Aston Villa at one point, and this would be the first deal done between Tottenham and Chelsea in almost 25 years.
Spurs and Chelsea, historically, don’t do business, but that could change late in this transfer window.
What Mauricio Pochettino said about Axel Disasi
Tottenham fans may be wary about signing a player who can’t get into the Chelsea starting XI as things stand.
However, Disasi isn’t a bad player, and he’s even had the seal of approval from former Spurs boss, Mauricio Pochettino.
Indeed, Pochettino praised Disasi during his time at Stamford Bridge, via Chelsea’s website.
“He still has the potential to improve, we are waiting for more, but he’s doing well,” Pochettino said.
“It’s not easy to arrive in the Premier League and perform in a team that is in a process of building. The defensive players always struggle a little bit more than the offensive players in that situation.
“We are happy with him because he can play centre-back but also can help the team at right-back because of injuries, like we’ve had with Reece and Malo. He’s a player we knew and it was a bit lucky, because maybe another coach and coaching staff wouldn’t have known that he can play right-back.
“When we were at Paris Saint-Germain he played one game against us with Monaco when he was on the side of the defence, playing against Kylian Mbappe. We saw that he could perform as a right-back, but he’s a centre-back who I think can play on both sides.
“We are so happy because his adaptation has been really good. He suffered a little bit in the beginning, which is normal, but he’s a player who has the potential to improve more.”
If Disasi is good enough for Pochettino, he’s good enough for Tottenham, and this could be an interesting late move on deadline day.
