Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur could make a move for Aston Villa target Pau Torres in the January transfer window, according to GiveMeSport.
The report has claimed that Tottenham wanted to sign Torres from Villarreal in the summer transfer window and remain interested in the defender.
Spurs could reportedly look into the situation of Torres again in January, now that Unai Emery is no longer in charge of Villarreal, and could make a bid for him.
Torres has a release clause of £55 million in his Villarreal contact, according to GMS.
Earlier this month, La Razon claimed that Villa are interested in Torres, and that Emery could make a move for him in the January transfer window.
Tottenham Hotspur or Aston Villa for Pau Torres?
In our view, Tottenham Hotspur have a better chance of signing Pau Torres from Villarreal in the January transfer window than Aston Villa do.
Yes, Villa now have Unai Emery as their new manager, and Torres worked with the former Arsenal boss at Villarreal.
However, Tottenham are a bigger club who are playing in the UEFA Champions League this season and could also end up in the Premier League top four.
Yes, Villa are an established club in the Premier League, but they are unlikely to challenge for the top four anytime soon.
Torres is 25 now, and a move to Tottenham from Villarreal in the middle of the season would be a step-up in his career.
