Aston Villa being rivals to Chelsea for a top four spot in the Premier League is working against them being able to loan in Tottenham Hotspur target Axel Disasi.

Disasi has been a bit part player for Chelsea in the ongoing window and the Blues have been open to letting him go if the deal on the table is right.

Aston Villa are keen on adding a defender after letting Diego Carlos go and Disasi is high on their transfer wish list.

Villa’s Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur have also joined the race to take him on loan.

Chelsea are ‘reluctant’ to loan Disasi to rivals for a Champions League spot and view Aston Villa as falling within that bracket, according to talkSPORT.

It has been suggested that Disasi is keen to leave the Stamford Bridge outfit in the search for regular football.

Aston Villa are currently in eighth place in the league table with 37 points from 24 games and are three points off fifth placed Chelsea.

Unai Emery is also adding to his squad with the arrival of Marco Asensio from Paris Saint-Germain and Marcus Rashford from Manchester United.

Chelsea ‘would not block’ a move to Tottenham Hotspur for Axel Disasi ‘if the terms are right’, according to the BBC.

Spurs have just brought in Kevin Danso from Lens on loan with an obligation to buy to boost their options in defence.

Ange Postecoglou continues to want another defender though and he is keen on Chelsea’s Disasi.

It has been suggested that Chelsea would not like to loan Disasi to Spurs given their status as rivals, but that is wide of the mark.

Chelsea would not block the move from happening if the terms on the table were right.

Any blockage of the switch would be down to Disasi himself and what he wants to do.

Aston Villa are also keen on signing the Chelsea centre-back as they look to improve their own defensive options.

While Aston Villa may be a threat to Chelsea’s top four ambitions this season though, Spurs are not as they are in the bottom half of the table.

Tottenham Hotspur are ‘still considering’ rivalling Aston Villa for a centre-back, but there is a ‘big loan fee’ that is being demanded, according to The Guardian.

Spurs have just brought in Kevin Danso from French side Lens on loan with an obligation to buy, but they could still do more defensive shopping.

Ange Postecoglou wants to shore things up at the back and Danso may not be the only fresh face at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium by Monday night.

Spurs are considering rivalling Aston Villa for Chelsea defender Axel Disasi, with Villa having trouble closing the deal due to the high loan fee demanded.

Unai Emery has spoken to Disasi and he is happy to make the move, but Spurs could come in strongly.

Postecoglou has seen his defensive options regularly stretched throughout the season due to repeated injuries.

The Australian does not want to be short of bodies again as he fights to keep Spurs away from the drop zone.

The Lilywhites could be in for a busy deadline day as things stand as they also chase attacking players.

A Tottenham Hotspur star has ‘deep respect’ for the manager of a club keen on signing him, but there is ‘zero chance’ of a winter transfer window move.

Spurs are stepping up their efforts in the transfer market as the window approaches it climax and are set to sign defender Kevin Danso from Lens.

They have already landed goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky and boss Ange Postecoglou wants another attacker in through the door.

One of their own attackers is a wanted man though as it is suggested Fenerbahce boss Jose Mourinho wants a reunion with Heung-Min Son in Istanbul.

However, a move now looks off the table.

Son has ‘deep respect’ for Mourinho, according to Korean journalist Jason Lee, but he will not be able to agree to join the Yellow Canaries now.

Tottenham are currently short in the forward department and they do want to lose their captain Son in this window.

It is suggested there is ‘zero chance’ that a move can happen now.

The summer though could be a different story.

Son has been a regular in Ange Postecoglou’s squad and has netted six goals while assisting six times for Spurs in the league this season.

Wolves have been informed ‘in the last few moments’ that Kevin Danso is going to Tottenham Hotspur, according to journalist Ben Jacobs.

An agreement is in place between Wolves and French side Lens for Danso to move to Molineux on loan until the end of the season.

The defender has been expected at Molineux on Sunday to complete his medical and then put pen to paper to the loan deal.

Spurs, in desperate need of a centre-back, have jumped into the race though and were trying to hijack Wolves’ swoop.

It appears they have now succeeded as Wolves have been informed that Danso is going to Tottenham.

The lure of linking up with Ange Postecoglou in north London appears to have been too good to turn down for the Austria international.

Whether there is time for Wolves to respond and try to wrestle Danso back to Molineux remains to be seen.

Danso has been looked at by a host of clubs in the transfer window, with both Aston Villa and Juventus holding talks about potentially signing him.

Tottenham Hotspur are making a late move to try to hijack Wolves’ swoop for a centre-back they are closing in on.

Spurs are in trouble at the wrong end of the Premier League table and Wolves’ win over Aston Villa on Saturday means they are just five points ahead of 17th spot.

Ange Postecoglou has been keen for signings, but so far Daniel Levy has only been able to hand him goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky.

Now Spurs are trying to hijack Wolves’ swoop for Lens defender Kevin Danso, according to the Daily Telegraph.

Wolves have a loan agreement in place with Lens for Danso, who is expected to be put through his medical checks by the club on Sunday.

However, Tottenham are making a late move and seeing if they can tempt the Austrian to move to north London instead.

It is unclear whether they will be able to turn Danso’s head so late in the day.

The defender was also wanted by Aston Villa and Juventus, but unless he has a change of heart now Spurs are in the race will join Wolves.

Sunday appears set to be key in seeing if the defender entertains Spurs’ offer.

Tottenham Hotspur are yet to make an enquiry to Manchester United for Alejandro Garnacho, according to talkSPORT.

Spurs have been having a massive injury crisis going through their team with the backline being the most affected area.

The north London club’s attack has also suffered bruises and they have been looking to bring in a new forward to back Ange Postecoglou

Spurs wanted to sign Randal Kolo Muani but he ended up at Juventus and now Bayern Munich’s Matthys Tel has also made it clear that he does not want to join them.

Tottenham have now shifted their focus and have been credited with a link with Red Devils man Garnacho.

The Argentine has been linked with a possible exit from Old Trafford, with Napoli having worked on a deal for him, while Chelsea are also keen.

However, Ange Postecoglou’s side have not made any enquiries for the 20-year-old Argentina winger.

If Spurs do hold an interest in landing Garnacho then they have yet to tell Manchester United about it.

And the clock is ticking down on the transfer window.

Tottenham Hotspur are in contact with AC Milan regarding a possible deal for Aston Villa target Fikayo Tomori, but it is suggested it would be ‘complicated’.

Despite a rampant injury crisis sweeping through Tottenham, the club have only added goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky to the ranks so far.

Ange Postecoglou wants to add a defender to their squad to give option and depth to his backline, with options being explored.

Tottenham have a longstanding interest in former Chelsea star Tomori, who currently plays for Italian giants AC Milan.

The 27-year-old centre-back is also on Aston Villa’s list of targets, with Unai Emery desperate to bring in a centre-back amid Diego Carlos’ exit.

Now, according to Italian broadcaster Sportitalia, Tottenham have taken the first steps to establish contact with AC Milan for Tomori.

Tomori has been a bit part player for AC Milan this season and the player wants to leave to secure regular game time.

However, despite that, it is claimed that a deal would be ‘complicated’.

It is unclear whether AC Milan will be willing to part ways with the defender in the ongoing window.

Now with deadline day approaching, Tottenham will have to move quickly to seal a deal if possible.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have tabled an offer for Real Betis midfielder Johnny Cardoso, who Tottenham Hotspur have an option on, though their offer falls short of the Spanish club’s valuation.

The Premier League strugglers are making last-ditch attempts to find a replacement for Mario Lemina, who is bound for Saudi Arabia, as well as to strengthen their squad.

While a move for Dynamo Kyiv midfielder Volodymyr Brazhko is being worked on, yet another option has been identified by the Wolves hierarchy.

US midfielder Cardoso has left an impression on the Wolves scouts and with the transfer window rapidly drawing to a close, they have even gone on to table an offer for him.

According to Spanish journalist Ivan Quiros, Vítor Pereira’s team have offered a €20m fee for the player, though Real Betis are asking for €10m more.

Cardoso is a player that Tottenham boast an option on.

While selling Giovani Lo Celso to Betis last summer Tottenham negotiated an option to buy Cardoso next summer for a set fee of €25m.

It remains to be seen whether Wolves are able to overcome every stumbling block to secure the player before Monday’s deadline.

Tottenham Hotspur are close to sealing a move for Manchester City’s young prospect Daniel Batty, who is currently undergoing his medical in London, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The teenager performs the number ten role for Manchester City’s academy and is a regular for their Under-18 team.

This season, he has played in 17 Under-18 Premier League matches for the Cityzens, scoring two goals and setting up three more for his team-mates.

Top prospect Batty has also featured in the UEFA Youth League and the FA Youth Cup.

However, he is not currently in the frame to get into manager Pep Guardiola’s senior team mix and he is heading elsewhere.

Tottenham have identified his potential and are now close to luring him away from Manchester.

They have agreed to pay Manchester City a £500,000 transfer fee and have also promised future add-ons with a sell-on percentage as well.

‘Medical ongoing’ is the verdict for the teenager, who will look to pass his tests with the London-based side before penning a contract to join Tottenham’s youth ranks.
