Tottenham eye move to sign River Plate’s Lautaro Rivero

Tottenham's Interest in Lautaro Rivero

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing River Plate defender Lautaro Rivero, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes.

Since Micky Van de Ven joined the team, he has been a starter, but struggled with fitness issues over the last two seasons. In his absence, former manager Ange Postecoglou used Ben Davies and Archie Gray in the left centre-back position.

However, both Davies and Gray are not natural centre-backs, with Davies being a left-back and Gray a midfielder. This lack of a natural left-footed centre-back has led to Thomas Frank looking to resolve the issue.
