Tottenham weighing up surprise swoop for Napoli defender Federico Fernandez
SPURS are contemplating making a surprise bid for Napoli defender Federico Fernandez.
The 24-year-old, who is a good tackler and strong in the air, spent the second half of last season on loan at La Liga outfit Getafe.
Spurs are considering defensive options, and having released William Gallas, the Argentina international appears to have caught the eye.
Reports on the continent indicate Spurs are lining up a £8.4m move for him.
Although he is due to go back to his parent club, Fernandez has never been able to cement a regular spot in the first team.
Fernandez joined Naples in 2011 from Estudiantes for £2.5m in 2011.
He netted once during his loan spell at Getafe.
