London’s Tottenham is facing serious staffing problems in the central defense line. Three out of four central defenders in the team are injured. We are talking about Cristian Romero, Mickey van de Ven, and Ben Davies. The only nominal central defender left in the “Spurs” squad is Radu Dragushin, but he has also encountered health issues after suffering from a severe viral infection.
Ilya ZabarnyiIn light of this, Tottenham has urgently started looking for a central defender and ultimately has chosen Ukrainian Bournemouth legionnaire Ilya Zabarnyi, reports GiveMeSport. According to the source, the Spurs consider the 22-year-old player as the solution to their problems in the defensive zone and aim to finalize his transfer right now.
But it’s far from certain that Tottenham will be able to secure Zabarnyi. First of all, there is a clause in his contract with Bournemouth regarding a release fee of 60 million euros. Secondly, other top clubs in Europe are keeping an eye on the Ukrainian — Real Madrid, PSG, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United.
