Report: Tottenham Hotspur keen on Reims centre-back and Arsenal target Axel Disasi

According to RMC Sport, Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Reims centre-back Axel Disasi this summer as boss Jose Mourinho looks to bolster his defence.

Belgian defender Jan Vertonghen is expected to move on at the end of the season, and Spurs want the young Frenchman to replace him.

However, they face competition from Arsenal and Southampton for Disasi’s signature, while the 22-year-old is also attracting interests from La Liga and Bundesliga clubs.

Reims are asking for £13 million for the signature of the defender, but suitors are yet to meet their demands, and it remains to be seen if Spurs or the Gunners will.
