Liverpool should target German Pezzella.
Tottenham Hotspur were last week linked with a move for Argentine defender German Pezzella.
Football London report via Tuttosport that Spurs are considering a move for the centre-back.
Pezzella is playing for Fiorentina on loan from Spanish side Real Betis.
While Pezzella could link up with compatriot Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham, his playing time would be limited considering Spurs’ current defensive options.
Premier League rivals Liverpool are potentially a much better fit for the 26-year-old given their poor defensive record this season.
The Reds did not add a centre back in the summer, focusing on a failed pursuit of Virgil van Dijk which has proven to be a mistake.
Pezzella has been a regular for Fiorentina this season, playing 12 of 13 Serie A matches.
He has made more interceptions per game (1.9) than any other defender in their team.
Pezzella won his first cap for Argentina earlier this year, having previously represented his country at youth level.
Jurgen Klopp is difficult to please when it comes to signing defenders, but Pezzella is a player he should be looking at, and he could be wasted if he were to sign with Tottenham.
