Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly in the running for the Stade de Reims defender Axel Disasi, according to a report from RMC Sport. 

The club’s North London rivals Arsenal have recently been heavily linked with a move for the player, as have fellow Premier League side Southampton. 

As reported by the Daily Mail, the Saints are hopeful they can complete the £13 million signature of the imposing defender.

Tottenham and West Ham were also mentioned in that post but Arsenal have previously been the biggest link regarding a move for the 6ft 3ins colossus.

In mid-April, a report from L’Equipe suggested that Arsenal were keeping tabs on the player whose contract expires in 2021. 

Now RMC are suggesting it is Tottenham, Arsenal, and Southampton who are in the hunt for the 22-year-old. It is claimed Reims are sticking to their €15 million (£13m) price-tag for the player, who could be seen as a potential replacement for Jan Vertonghen. 

Sevilla are also suggested as a destination but Reims president Jean-Pierre Caillot told L’Equipe du Soir this week that Disasi would not be heading to Spain with England the defender’s most likely next destination. 

Tottenham fans will no doubt be hoping they can beat their local rivals and Southampton to the signing of this sleeper hit from Ligue 1.
