Sevilla confirm interest in Tottenham defender ahead of January window

Sevilla want Tottenham outcast Federico Fazio

 

SEVILLA are interested in re-signing Tottenham defender Federico Fazio, according to club president Jose Castro.

 

The Argentina international left Sevilla for White Hart Lane a year ago after Spurs triggered a reported £8million buy-out clause in his contract.

But the 28-year-old has struggled to establish himself in the Premier League and has managed just one first-team outing this season.

 

And Sevilla are willing to bring Fazio back, with West Brom also thought to be keen on the experienced defender.

“We are working on a number of options and Fazio is one of them," Castro told Radio Sevilla. "He is an option, but nothing has been completed as of yet.

 

Federico Fazio has made just one appearance for Tottenham's first team this season

 

"It is clear that Fazio did not leave Sevilla in the best of ways and that really upset me, but I have to think about Sevilla's interests.

"I have to swallow my anger, because this club needs Fazio. I do not like swallowing my pride, but I am willing to do something I do not like because it is in Sevilla's best interest."
