The South American could prove to be a quality acquisition for Tottenham. They need more depth in the defensive unit, especially if Cristian Romero ends up leaving the club. He has been linked with Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid. It remains to be seen what the World Cup winner decides in the summer.

Meanwhile, the Colombian International has proven himself in Italy, and he has the physicality to do well in the Premier League as well. He will look to establish himself as a key player for Tottenham if the transfer goes through. They have an exciting project and a talented squad. Despite their struggles this season, they are a big club, and they could be an attractive destination for the player.

Spurs certainly have the finances to get the deal across the line, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops. It has been a disappointing season for them, and they will look to bounce back strongly. Signing the right players will be crucial to their chances of succeeding next year. 

The 26-year-old could certainly help them tighten up at the back, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the deal across the line.
