Fabrizio Romano says Tottenham have approached ‘complete’ Premier League centre-back
Tottenham Hotspur are currently looking to bring in a new centre-back as the defensive crisis at N17 rumbles on.
Spurs’ season has been hampered by the amount of injuries to a fair few of their key players, particularly in defence, and they are now looking for reinforcements.
Radu Dragusin is the latest Tottenham centre-back to suffer an injury, and he could be set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
Tottenham have been in talks over AC Milan ace Fikayo Tomori, but Fabrizio Romano has now reported that Spurs have made an approach for a different defender.

Fabrizio Romano says Tottenham have made their move for Axel Disasi
Romano, taking to X, says Tottenham have approached Chelsea defender Axel Disasi over a potential move to N17.
Although Disasi has already agreed personal terms with Aston Villa, Romano suggested that the Blues man is indeed considering the Spurs lead.
“He’s now expected to make a decision soon… up to the player,” the transfer insider wrote on the social media platform.
Disasi’s current situation at Chelsea
Disasi, who joined Chelsea in a £38.5m move from Monaco back in August 2023, has struggled under Enzo Maresca so far this season.
Since the turn of the year, Disasi has picked up just 13 minutes of Premier League football, coming off the bench against Wolves.
| Competition | Appearances | Goals | Assists | Yellow cards | Red cards | Minutes |
| Conference League | 6 | 1 | 2 | 2 | – | 509′ |
| Premier League | 6 | 1 | – | 1 | – | 364′ |
| UECL Qualifiers | 2 | – | – | – | – | 168′ |
| EFL Cup | 2 | – | – | – | – | 153′ |
| FA Cup | 1 | – | – | – | – | 90′ |
| Total | 17 | 2 | 2 | 3 | – | 1.284′ |
However, the France international did play the full 90 minutes in the FA Cup win over Morecambe back in January.
Trevoh Chalobah’s recall from his loan spell at Crystal Palace is likely to push Disasi further down the pecking order at Chelsea.
TBR Football sources have confirmed that Chelsea are currently stalling in talks with Villa over Disasi, which in turn has left the player unhappy.
Disasi could do with a change of scenery and Tottenham wouldn’t be a bad place for him to try and kickstart his career once again.
Should Spurs land Disasi, they’d be getting a player who Football Talent Scout’s Jacek Kulig has described as a “complete and dominant” defender.
His strengths include pace, tackling, heading, athleticism, tenacity and timing, according to the scouting expert.
Disasi has also been likened to Liverpool and Netherlands star Virgil van Dijk, one of the best defenders in world football.
