Spurs are looking for another centre defender, and recent reports suggest that Barcelona’s Mika Faye is one of their targets.
According to a recent Sport story, Tottenham are considering a deal for 19-year-old youth academy defender Mika Faye.
According to the article, “Tottenham have been following him, and Girona in Spain are very interested in accessing him in the future.” “In France, Nice and Lens…”
Spurs concluded defensive business in January by signing Radu Dragusin from Genoa, and while he may have done better in Tottenham‘s recent 3-0 loss to Fulham, the €25.00 million (£21.4 million) signing appears to have a lot of potential at the age of only 22.
A move for Faye is unsurprising given their previous history of seeking young talent. The teenage defender has been drawing increasing interest from clubs around Europe, and was recently called up to the Senegal national squad for the forthcoming international break.
This season, Spurs have consistently used Cristian Romero (23 starts) and Micky van de Ven (18 starts) at the centre of the defence line, at least when both were healthy. In their absences, Ben Davies has stepped in to fill the void, and with Dragusin now at the club, Tottenham have a decent backline to work with.
Nonetheless, given the injury crisis of November and December, as well as defensive struggles on set pieces and against beatable opponents such as Fulham, it’s understandable that the club would want to extend their alternatives.
With interest from other clubs and excitement surrounding his recent national team call-up, time will tell where Spurs stand in the latest transfer story involving Mika Faye.
