Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham, is eagerly anticipating the arrival of more players before the transfer window closes. The team has recently had an offer for Axel Disasi accepted by Chelsea, but the defender seems to have his sights set on a move to Aston Villa instead. This comes as no surprise, as the 26-year-old has been struggling to get enough game time this season, having only made six Premier League appearances so far, with four of those being as a substitute.
Reports from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano suggest that Tottenham and Chelsea have reached an agreement for a loan deal for Disasi. However, it seems that the player himself is not too keen on moving to a club in the same city. He has already agreed to terms with Aston Villa and is hoping for a short-term deal with them. Unfortunately, Chelsea is not too keen on sending him to Villa Park, as they see them as direct competitors for a spot in the Champions League this season.
As the winter transfer window closes at 11pm on Monday, all parties involved have a limited amount of time to come to an agreement. Disasi is set on joining Villa, while Chelsea would prefer to send him elsewhere. With some negotiations and discussions, hopefully, a solution can be reached before the deadline.
Meanwhile, Tottenham has already secured the signing of another defender this week, Kevin Danso from Lens. The 26-year-old was initially on course to join Wolves on loan for the rest of the season, but things took a turn when he pulled out of his medical on Sunday. This opened the door for Tottenham to swoop in and make a move for him, and they have now agreed on a transfer fee of €25 million with Lens. Danso has also agreed to personal terms with the club.
After a 2-0 win against Brentford on Sunday, manager Ange Postecoglou expressed his desire to bring in another signing after Danso, if possible. He stated that the club is constantly on the lookout for opportunities, but they don't want to rush into signing just anyone. The process can be frustrating for everyone involved, but as long as they find the right fit, it will be worth the wait. For now, Postecoglou is happy with the addition of Danso and hopes to add another player to the squad before the window closes.
