After weeks of searching the market for a new center back, Tottenham Hotspur announced on their Twitter feed the signing of Argentinian Federico Fazio for the next four years. The player, who spent the last seven seasons playing for Sevilla, will fill the void left by Michael Dawson’s departure to Hull.
The club has not made any comment on the terms of the agreement, but some sources indicate the player arrives after Tottenham paid 10 million euros to his former club.
