Tottenham Hotspur are on the lookout for at least another central defender, Metro has revealed.
Captain Michael Dawson is the latest defender to have been ruled out through injury, with Jan Vertonghen injuring his ankle some two weeks ago.
Seeing as how Younes Kaboul is still not fully fit and Steven Caulker was sold to Cardiff City, Andre Villas-Boas is in desperate need of defensive reinforcements.
In the absence of better options, Zeki Fryers and Jake Livermore formed a defensive partnership in a friendly against Monaco, which in turn saw Tottenham concede no less than five goals in the process.
Spurs reportedly had a deal in place to sign Romanian defender Vlad Chiriches from Steaua, but club president Gigi Becali phoned club officials from a prison cell to block the move.
Given that the Premier League season is due to kick off in a fortnight, Tottenham find themselves in all sorts of problems.
