Uruguayan international defender Sebastian Caceres continues to be linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
A report from EL Universal (h/t SportWitness) claims that the 24-year-old defender is a target for the North London club, and they are now preparing an offer to sign him during the January transfer window.
The 24-year-old is highly rated in South America and he could prove to be a useful acquisition for Tottenham in the long run. The North London outfit needs to add more quality and depth to their defensive unit if they want to compete for major trophies and Caceres certainly fits the profile.
Tottenham already have a couple of quality central defenders in Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven. Signing another reliable defender could prove to be a wise decision. They also have Ashley Phillips at their disposal, who is a superb long-term prospect.
Meanwhile, the opportunity to join Tottenham will be an attractive idea for the Uruguay international defender and he will be tempted to make the switch to the Premier League. It would be an exciting new step in his career, and he will look to prove himself in English football.
Tottenham have started the Premier League season in fine form and they will be hoping to get back into the UEFA Champions League. Bringing in the right reinforcements during the January transfer window could help them finish the season strongly.
It will be interesting to see if they can agree on a reasonable fee to sign the 24-year-old defender in the coming months now.
