Tottenham Hotspur have eyed Axel Disasi and the Monaco centre back has now opened the door to a future Premier League move.
Fabio Paratici is always active in the transfer market even if others may be taking something of a September siesta from the transfer scene.
The Italian will be spinning so many plates ahead of the January transfer window, you might think he will be auditioning for Britain’s Got Talent.
That’s the life of a top Premier League director though and Paratici may be interested to hear of Disasi’s interest in a move to England.
Tottenham Hotspur have eyed Axel Disasi
Tottenham were in the market for a centre back over the summer, preferably a left-sided one.
Clement Lenglet ended up joining on loan from Barcelona, but only after Tottenham dipped their toes in the waters of Josko Gvardiol, Nico Schlotterbeck and Alessandro Bastoni.
Tottenham did look at right-footers too though in an effort to add competition for Cristian Romero and Eric Dier.
Reports from Marca back in June suggested that Tottenham were keen on signing Disasi after two years of admiring him from afar.
Disasi impressed with Reims before joining Monaco in 2020, with Tottenham seemingly keepings tabs since his move to the the principality.
The 24-year-old is expected to win a France cap sooner rather than later, though he looks set to lose his race against time ahead of the World Cup.
Tottenham may well be tracking Disasi ahead of a potential move in 2023, and the defender has given Paratici and co plenty of encouragement.
Disasi has told Rothen s’enflamme that Paris Saint-Germain wanted to sign him over the summer but he actually fancies a move to the Premier League.
As translated by Get French Football News, Disasi indicated that he likes the Premier League ‘a lot’ and finds it a ‘very exciting’ league.
If Tottenham do want to sign Disasi, the door is open for Paratici to stride in and sell the dream of a big move to London next year.
