Toying with a three at the back formation for a chunk of this season, it will be interesting to see if Mauricio Pochettino targets a new central defender in the upcoming transfer window.
After all, Eric Dier looked on the verge of transitioning into a defensive midfielder, but if Pochettino decides to keep his 3421 formation on his rotational board of tactics, a more depth in the position could be needed.
This is why a link to Inter Milan centre-back Jeison Murillo isn’t too left field these days.
It’s FCInterNews who claim to have the information that Tottenham have been looking at the Colombian defender with a potential view to a transfer this summer, to an extent that a few enquiries have been made regarding his potential availability.
Before you scoff at the idea of a fan website having inside information regarding their club, it’s worth pointing out that things seem to work differently in Italy, with a lot of them proving relatively reliable, even close to clubs, and getting a lot of exclusives of their own.
We’re not saying that Murillo will 100% be joining Tottenham in the summer, but it’s worth keeping an eye out on any further claims.
The 24-year-old defender has made 33 appearances for the Serie A club this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist for his teammates.
