Tottenham Hotspur are linked with Santiago Arias this summer.
According to ESPN, Tottenham Hotspur are weighing up a move for PSV Eindhoven right-back Santiago Arias.
The 25-year-old, who has 32 caps for Colombia and valued at £7 million, is the latest in a long list of right-backs who have been linked with a move to Tottenham following Kyle Walker’s departure.
Joao Cancelo, Serge Aurier and Ricardo Pereira are just some of the other names touted for a switch to Spurs, but manager Mauricio Pochettino has signed no replacement as yet.
And fans of the North London seem rather conflicted over the latest speculation about Arias, who made 31 appearances for the Dutch side last season.
If Spurs sign him for £7 million then it might suggest that the right-back slot is Kieran Trippier’s to lose. If not then perhaps chairman Daniel Levy would be spending a lot more of the £54 million from Walker on a replacement for the 27-year-old.
There is less than two weeks left in the window and the Lilywhites need someone – anyone – to boost the morale a little. It has been a frustrating season for Tottenham fans in regards to transfers and a new signing would lift their spirits somewhat.
If Arias does arrive then he will joined in North London by international team-mate Davinson Sanchez who became Pochettino’s first signing of the summer today.
