Tottenham Hotspur interested in Sassuolo defender Gian Marco Ferrari

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Gian Marco Ferrari from Sassuolo in the January transfer window, according to 90min. It has been reported that Spurs are looking to sign a new central defender when the transfer window opens next month and have identified the 28-year-old as a potential target.

According to the report, Spurs head coach Jose Mourinho wants to sign a left-footed centre-back in January. Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is willing to sanction a deal, but he does not want to spend more than £15 million. Italian club Sassuolo would be open to selling the 28-year-old for that price.

Ferrari has been on the books of Sassuolo since 2016 and spent the 2016-17 campaign on loan at Crotone and the 2017-18 season on loan at Sampdoria. So far this season, the 28-year-old defender has made nine appearances in Serie A, providing two assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
