Spurs Defender Fazio Arrives At West Brom For Medical

Tottenham Hotspur defender Federico Fazio has arrived for a medical at West Bromwich Albion, according to Sky Sports.

According to the report, Spurs and West Brom have agreed upon a fee for the Argentine centre-back, which is understood to be around the £5m mark.

Fazio arrived at the north London club only last season from Sevilla, but his quick departure from the club suggests Spurs’ manager Mauricio Pochettino doesn’t see him as a first team regular. He made only 20 Premier League appearances last season.

Baggies manager Tony Pulis has talked up Fazio’s arrival, saying the defender’s move stems from a desire to play regular first team football.
