# Tottenham Hotspur: Fans gush over Axel Disasi as transfer news emerges

**Tottenham are interested in signing Reims defender Axel Disasi this summer, according to [RMC Sport](https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/ligue-1-les-defenseurs-centraux-acteurs-majeurs-du-prochain-mercato-1913425.html) via [@TranSPURS](https://twitter.com/TranSPURS/status/1260655838433128452).**

Daniel Levy faces stiff competition from local rivals Arsenal and fellow Premier League side Southampton for the French youngster, and [the Saints](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8278775/Southampton-confident-winning-race-sign-13m-rated-Reims-centre-Axel-Disasi-summer.html) are confident they can agree a £13m deal for Disasi when the transfer market opens.

However, [RMC suggests](https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/ligue-1-les-defenseurs-centraux-acteurs-majeurs-du-prochain-mercato-1913425.html) Spurs have now joined the race to bring the Frenchman to England, and the Red and Whites are willing to accept their original price-tag for the academy graduate.

Jose Mourinho is looking to rebuild his ageing back line, with veteran Jan Vertonghen’s contract [set to expire](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jan-vertonghen/profil/spieler/43250) in June, and the young centre-back certainly fits the profile.

After being promoted from the Stade de Reims B team to the senior squad in the summer of 2017, the 22-year-old has put in a string of defensive shifts for David Guion’s side, scoring 1 goal, making 1.2 tackles per game, averaging 1 interception, and completing a staggering 3.6 clearances on average in Ligue 1 this season ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/300426/Show/Axel-Disasi)).

Unsurprisingly, loads of Spurs fans gushed over the transfer link to Disasi, with one fan dubbing him “Toby-esque,” and others adding he is “quality” and a “bargain.”
