Stefan de Vrij
The 24-year old Lazio defender is reportedly being looked at by a host of Premier League clubs including Tottenham and Pochettino should act quickly if he wants to secure De Vrij’s services.
The Dutchman has emerged as one of the finest centre-backs in the Serie A over the past two years and has been constantly impressing with his classy displays at the heart of the defence for the Biancocelesti. De Vrij started the season strongly, but missed seven games in between due to injury, and has been a constant feature in the starting XI ever since his return. The Dutchman has made 36 interceptions and 55 clearances in his 14 appearances for Lazio this term and has also chipped in with a goal.
A good tackler, and an excellent reader of situations, De Vrij also possesses a decent turn of pace that helps out in difficult situations. And standing at 6ft 2in, he is no slouch physically as well. He may not be the biggest of the names, but could become a huge hit at the Lane if Tottenham decides to make a move.
