Espanyol are chasing Tottenham defender Federico Fazio.

Sport says Espanyol officials have been in London this week for negotiations over the stopper.

Talks are now at an advanced stage, with Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino happy for Fazio to move on.

Espanyol president, Chen Yansheng, traveled this week to London accompanied by CEO, Robert Ramon, to discuss the situation.

Fazio spent last season on-loan at Sevilla and knows he has little chance of regular football at Spurs for the coming season.
