Mamadou Sakho (Liverpool):
Though not a player yet linked with Tottenham Hotspur, the Liverpool boy is a decent option for the Spurs in the future. The French defender has been out of favour at Anfield for a while now after Jurgen Klopp decided to freeze him out of the first team for his antics on the pre-season tour to the US.
He is yet to play a game for the side this season but has been busy with the U23. He is still up for sale with Liverpool demanding around £20m for him and if Spurs can get the player to agree for a move, they might even be able to snap him up for less. At just 26, Sakho’s age, and his experience in the Premier League will be more than welcome at the White Hart Lane.
Virgil van Dijk (Southampton):
A tremendous improvement on Fazio, Van Dijk is the best option for Spurs in this list. However, it will be interesting to see if the Dutch international is prepared to play as a second fiddle at the club next season. Van Dijk, is easily one of the best defenders in the Premier League at the moment and though he signed a new contract at the start of the season, he is still wanted by a host of Premier League clubs and there is no reason why Spurs should look away. He may be available at a high price but he is a high-quality defender and is sure to improve the squad.
