Tottenham plot ‘full-blown assault’ for 23-year-old defender in January

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly plotting a move for a Serie A star as Ange Postecoglou looks to bolster his options in central defence.

Spurs reportedly keen on signing a centre-back

Ange Postecoglou currently has three full-time central defenders at his disposal in Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Radu Dragusin, while Ben Davies and Archie Gray have also played in the position this season.

However, it has been widely reported that the Lilywhites are keen to add another centre-back to their squad. A new report has suggested one possible name to fill that role.

In fact, journalist Graeme Bailey revealed to The Spurs News last week that a left-sided centre-half has become the top priority for Postecoglou following the injury to Micky van de Ven.

Spurs eyeing move for Inter Milan’s Yann Bisseck

InterLive.it now claims that Inter Milan’s Yann Bisseck has now emerged as an option for the North London club ahead of January.

The report explains that with Romero’s future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium being uncertain, Spurs have identified the German as a potential replacement for the Argentine.

The outlet adds that Simone Inzaghi’s side have to deal with a ‘full-blown assault’ from the Premier League for the 23-year-old but no other English club are named apart from Tottenham.

How much would Spurs have to pay for Yann Bisseck?

InterLive explain that Postecoglou’s men would be willing to pay €30m (£24.8m) for the 23-year-old defender in January.

However, the Nerazurri are said to be keen on keeping Bisseck at the San Siro and are hoping to tie him down to a new contract. It was previously revealed by Tuttosport last week that Inter would find it difficult to turn down an offer of around €40m-€45m (£33m-£41.4m) for the centre-back.
