Swansea City are reportedly planning move for Santiago Arias. Should Tottenham Hotspur make a late challenge?
According to The Sun, Swansea City are eyeing a move for Columbian right-back Santiago Arias.
Paul Clement has money burning a hole in his pocket following Gylfi Sigurdsson’s £45 million move to Everton last week.
The Swansea boss is looking to use the money to bolster several areas of the pitch, and are considering making a move for Arias.
The report claims that Clement is hoping to push through a £12 million deal for the 25-year-old PSV Eindhoven defender, but could face competition from Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
Should Spurs move quickly and snap him up?
Spurs have sold Kyle Walker to Manchester City this summer, and are looking to bring in an able replacement.
According to ESPN, the Colombian is on Tottenham’s transfer wish-list after catching the eye, playing for both club and country.
Maurico Pochettino has used young Kyle Walker-Peters in the opening Premier League game against Newcastle United, and while the youngster duly impressed, the club is still looking to add an experienced defender.
Arias, who is entering the final two years of his contract at PSV, is keen to take on a new challenge. He could be tempted by the prospect of playing Champions League football, and would be a solid addition to the Spurs squad.
