According to The Mirror (16/08, p64), Watford defender Pervis Estupinan is set for talks over his future amid interest from Tottenham Hotspur.
It’s stated that Tottenham and Barcelona are both waiting in the wings for Estupinan, with Watford ‘ready’ to cash in on him.
Estupinan would allegedly cost £15million, despite the fact that he has yet to actually play a single game for the Hornets.
The Ecuadorian talent has been out on loan at Granada, Almeria, Mallorca and Osasuna, meaning that whilst he was signed by Watford in 2016, he hasn’t kicked a ball for them yet.
The 22-year-old impressed in La Liga this past season, showing real attacking ability with one goal and six assists for Osasuna.
Estupinan already has earned a first cap for Ecuador, and could now make a big move this summer as Watford prepare to sell following their relegation.
Spurs have Ben Davies as their first-choice left back, but their other options are a lilttle less certain, meaning Estupinan is a target.
Dennis Cirkin could be second choice but is still only a teenager, whilst Danny Rose and Ryan Sessegnon may spend next season elsewhere.
Estupinan looks to be a main target for Spurs if they do go for a left back, but much will depend on how his talks go with Watford and how Tottenham’s left back situation plays out.
