Tottenham Hotspur are looking to make a big midfield addition in the final few days of the transfer window and Nico Paz is one of their targets.
TBR Football understands that Tottenham turned to Paz after missing out on Eberechi Eze to Arsenal in what was a major blow for their transfer plans.
Tottenham were close to signing Eze only for their bitter North London rivals to swoop in at the last minute and leave them searching for alternatives.
The North London club’s search has led them to the Argentine midfielder and he thoroughly impressed in his second outing of the season for Como 1907.
Tottenham fans so impressed by Nico Paz’s display vs Lazio
Tottenham Hotspur fans were left so impressed by Nico Paz’s display against Lazio and are keen for the club to make their move.
The 20-year-old took the game by the scruff of the neck as he produced a goal and an assist to seal a big win for Como.
His assist saw him pick up the ball inside his own half, before beating two defenders and then producing a line breaking pass to pick out Anastasios Douvikas, who slotted home.
In the second half, he added a second for Como with a stunning free kick goal to prove why he is so highly rated by Tottenham, Como and Real Madrid.
The midfielder now has two goals and one assist in his first two matches in Serie A and Cesc Fabregas views Paz as a vital player for his project in Italy.
After the game, Spurs supporters took to X to share their admiration for the player and called for Daniel Levy to make a strong push to sign him.
One fan compared the midfielder to Maddison: “Gives me major Maddison vibes with this assist.”
“Thought exactly the same, way he carries the ball and style of play! Bring him to Spurs,” another fan agreed.
There was further praise for Paz’s performance: “Get me Nico Paz right this instance. That was absolute filth.”
Finally, another claimed: “Nico Paz is six foot one I think he suits Frank’s profile a lot better. Just pay the fee.”
Paz, who has been compared to Bruno Fernandes, is wanted by Madrid, who have a £8 million buy back clause for him.
Madrid have told Tottenham they want Paz in the future, which means that the Lilywhites getting a deal done is quite unlikely at this stage.
Tottenham need to get Savinho deal done as soon as possible
TBR Football revealed on Sunday that Tottenham are quietly confident of signing Savinho following new talks with Manchester City.
Spurs met with the former Premier League champions following their 2-0 win over them at the Etihad Stadium.
But this is now becoming a rather drawn out saga and soon Spurs will need to turn elsewhere or risk missing out on the signing of a left winger.
