Report: Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal keen on PSG centre-back Thiago Silva

According to Bleacher Report, Tottenham Hotspur are interested in bringing Paris Saint-Germain centre-back Thiago Silva to the Premier League this summer, but they face competition from Arsenal and Everton.

The 35-year-old is set to leave Parc des Princes in the coming weeks after both parties couldn’t agree to terms of a contract extension, and it appears Spurs boss Jose Mourinho wants him.

Tottenham need another centre-back with Jan Vertonghen leaving at the end of the campaign, and while Silva won’t be a long-term replacement, the fact that he will be available for free has made him attractive to suitors.
