Tottenham Ready to Pay £60m to Hijack Move to Sign 'Unbelievable' Star

Tottenham Hotspur are ready to pay £60m to sign Bournemouth defender Illia Zabarnyi, despite the Ukrainian international agreeing a five-year deal with Paris Saint-Germain, according to RMC Sport.
It's been a relatively slow start to the summer transfer window for Spurs, who appointed Thomas Frank following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou. Mohammed Kudus has arrived through the door from West Ham United, while any other additions confirmed have only been loan signings being turned permanent, or non-senior reinforcements.
After such a disappointing Premier League campaign last time out, finishing 17th in England's top flight, further reinforcements will be necessary to help Frank build a squad capable of climbing back into the top half. With a new manager comes a new system, so Spurs will have to find players who will fit with what Frank is trying to build at the north London club.
Tottenham Ready to Pay £60m to Hjiack PSG Move
Zabarnyi has agreed a five-year deal with PSG
According to a report from RMC Sport, Tottenham are ready to pay £60m to sign Bournemouth defender Zabarnyi. The Ukrainian centre-back has already agreed a five-year deal with PSG, and he only wants to join the Ligue 1 outfit, but the two clubs are yet to agree a fee. This is where Spurs could swoop in if they are prepared to cough up the cash, but it will depend on whether Zabarnyi would be open to joining Frank's side if a move to PSG falls through.
Zabarnyi, described as 'unbelievable' by Philip Billing, is in demand during the summer transfer window, and it's no surprise considering the performances he produced for the Cherries during the 2024/2025 season. The 22-year-old formed an impressive partnership alongside Dean Huijsen, despite the duo being new to the Premier League and having minimal senior experience, but neither player looked out of place as they flourished under Andoni Iraola.
