Atletico Madrid star Stefan Savic emerges as Tottenham target

According to a report from Spanish publication Todo Fichajes (h/t Ricky Sacks), Tottenham Hotspur have expressed an interest in signing Atletico Madrid defender Stefan Savic in the summer transfer window.

The 29-year-old Savic has grown into a top defender during his stint with Atletico Madrid. The Montengro defender has been with Los Rojiblancos for almost five years now, having signed from Fiorentina in 2015. Till date, he has featured 151 times for the Spanish capital club.

Tottenham are resigned to losing Jan Vertonghen when his contract expires. The Belgian hasn’t been able to agree an extension with the club and seems set for an exit. Hence, bringing in a new defender is of paramount importance for Jose Mourinho & co. especially considering that Davinson Sanchez has had an up-and-down campaign.

Tottenham interested in Stefan Savic

The report states that the 29-year-old Savic would be available for a bargain price of €15m, making him an attractive prospect for our club. Fans took to Twitter to express their thoughts on the links. And here are some reactions by the Tottenham supporters on the Savic speculations.

“Spurs are prepared to pay a decent sum of money” right there that should tell you its a fake report.

Not sure why people are linking us with bad CB’s anyways. This guy isn’t an improvement over Sanchez or Toby and isn’t needed to block Tanganga.

No way, he’s a right footed defender, ALdeweireld Sanchez and Tanganga are all right footed, no reason for another one, we have 1 left footer in vertonghen, if anything we need a left footer, especially if vertonghen leaves
