Tottenham hold an interest in Chelsea defender Axel Disasi as an alternative to Fikayo Tomori in their efforts to sign a new centre back ahead of Monday’s deadline. 

Spurs are in talks with AC Milan over a swoop for Tomori, but it is unclear whether the England defender is ready to leave Italy for a move to Ange Postecoglou’s side.

The former Chelsea centre back was in talks to join Juventus and also has interest from Aston Villa. Milan want around £25m but Tottenham may offer an initial loan.

And Mail Sport understands Disasi is one of Tottenham’s options if a move for Tomori proves unsuccessful.

Chelsea are ready to sanction an exit for Disasi in the coming days, and there is significant interest in the 26-year-old central defender from a number of Premier League clubs.

Wolves and Aston Villa are among the clubs to hold an interest in Disasi heading into the final hours of the window.
