Tottenham want to sign £34m centre-back who has missed just 14 games through injury

Tottenham have battled with an injury crisis in the last two seasons, but they are now keen on securing the services of a centre-back with a near-perfect injury record.

Tottenham Hotspur have barely had any luck on the injury front in the last two seasons, with several first-team players sidelined for extended periods.

This campaign, ahead of their Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund, Spurs were without a staggering 13 first-team players for different reasons, ranging from injuries to suspensions and illness.
